Hi,

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put this, so I apologize if it's in the wrong place.

I have a small girl puppy, the back of her ears are very shiny leathery looking, the hair on her back, down to the end of her tail is very very fine hair and very short, you can actually see her back. I was told this could be 'Black Hair Flicker' which is a throwback in the pups.
She has had this ever since she was born.

I would like to know if anyone else has come across this and if this is the right name for it. She is going to the vets tomorrow, but I would like to know possibly tonight, just incase he says its a flea problem.

Thanks
Daniel.
