Ok so this is kind of a strange question and I'm sorry about the title I had no clue. I've noticed the past few times I've bathed Reagan that there is a bunch of hair on the side of her head that is quite a bit shorter than the rest, maybe an inch to inch and a half long. Its between her eye and ear and starts about the corner of her eye and goes down a little ways. I have a picture to show what I'm talking about but I don't know how well you can see it. In the pic there a darker section of hair and at about the top of it is the line of where the short hair ends, if that makes sense. So I'm kinda wondering what would cause this. I thought that maybe I had burnt it when I was drying her, but I'm always careful with the heat plus she doesn't like her head to be dried so I leave it alone anyway. My next thought was that it was breaking from putting her hair up but some hair that starts growing below the corner of her eye is short as well so I wouldn't have been putting that hair up. So any ideas, would the groomer have cut it or could it be new hair growing in. She's 1 1/2 by the way. Oh and the tips of the shorter hairs are lighter, just the very tips, this doesn't show up in the pic, which is why I first thought I may have burnt it but I really really don't think I could have or did. Oh and one last thing she only has a tiny bit on her right side that is like this but the left side has a bunch, its very noticable. I'm not really freaking out about it or anything but when you dog's hair end up doing something funny you get a bit curious. Anyway thanks everyone.
