You should probably take him to the vet and have them do a skin scraping on him. Bald spots could range from being just a "hotspot" to being caused by a mange mite, also known as demodetic mange. It's best to have it checked by a vet to so that you can start treatment right away before it gets any worse. Best of luck!!

It might be a food allergy. If it continues take him to your vet. Sometimes pedigree dogs have really sensitive skin. What are feeding him? Some vets are now recommending that you feed your animals raw food that can be bought insome of the better pet places. Good luck!

hair loss can be a sign of malnutrition. take him to your vet and have him take a look at him. Did you recently change his dog food? Or could be a skin disease

He could have Dermatex mange mites. It could be allergies. Take him to the Vet.
