The only thing that concerns me is that you think her coat is getting too thin. If her hair kind of matts close to the body and looks a little fuzzy next to the skin it is probably just the baby coat changing to the adult coat. If you are losing long silky hairs and feeding a high quality dog food, I would take her in for a blood test and see if anything looks out of balance or try improving her diet by adding a supplement with Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
Lacy's Mom, you always give fantastic advice!

We always get some hair in the brush whenever I brush them, but never clumps. But both of mine have puppy cuts, so there's not much that can come out anyway. And they both stay matt-free so there are rarely tangles to pull out.
