My first guess was mange too..
Next time you see the dog outside during cold weather, call animal control. I thing that is considered animal cruelty if the weather is too cold for such a small dog.
I would also call your breeder and warn her about this neighbor so she won't sell her a pup from her next litter.
Gosh - It's got to be tough to see this going on across the street and have to be neighborly. I have a BIL like that. In the 20+ years I've known him he must have bought and given away over 10 dogs because they were having various "behavioral" problems... um.... it's called neglect!!! I cringe each time he tells me he's thinking of getting another dog or that they got a new pup..
