My doggie may have had a similar problem - at certain times she will lose clumps of hair. If this is the same case for you - it may well be an allergy - maybe to insect bites or the shampoo that you're using on him/her.
You can get an ointment from the vet that will ease any itching that they might have. Also give your dog some cod-liver oil - it works wonders on their coat!
The best of luck! x

Change her food.
Corn and wheat have bad effects on skin and coat. Avoid foods with them.
Pick foods with lots of protein and fatty acids. Innova EVO is a good one to try. California Natural Skin and Coat Supplement works wonders! You will be very pleased with it.
Go to www.naturapet.com for info on both products.
Look into: Canidae, Wellness, Artemis all are good foods, all have websites.
Ark Naturals has a whole line of herbal supplements and remedies for pets. They are wonderful. Go to www.arknaturals.com for a store location, or order directly from the site.
Good luck

Dobermans are prone to skin conditions like this. Ours often got small bald patches. Try some tea tree lotion and shampoo. There skin can get very dry so dont bath too often and give her cod liver oil on a regular basis.

I agree with Bonsyler... one of my rotties has dry skin and it gets thinned out at times. I started feeding her (and all my dogs) Diamond Brand dog food (available at Tractor SUpply or most feed stores). It is very high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids which are wonderful for their coat. They are all so shiny now. ANother thing to do if you don't want to change her food... you can get Omega-3 Fatty Acid supplements at your pharmacy.

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/KIcPh
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.
Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.
Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

This could be a wide spectrum of problems. Skin alergys, mange, hot spots,nervous disorder, the lis goes on and on. The only way to know for sure is to bring him or her to the vet.

It could be a thyroid problem. Take her to the vet and have her checked out.

you need to find out why before you can treat her appropriately - off to the vet! You may need a dermatologist specialist report.
