He's six months old eats healthy - doesnt shed too much. The one near his eye is a clear white skin showing bald patch and the one on his snout is also almost clearly skin showing. Is this something i shouldn't worry about? I have two pups - could the other one have been constantly biting his hair off from this part of his snout and eye? Has anyone else noticed this happenning?

could be mange. I wouldn't delay, have your vet do some skin scrapings to determine if your pup has some extra critters living in his skin. Mange can spread quickly!

Yes. My pooch started getting bald spots around six months ago on her back and tail. Now she is a Yorkshire Terrior and a lap dog so she is usually very sleepy and lazy. However, she was constantly biting and scratching and acted as if she was always nervous. We took her to the vet and she had a combined allergy and overacted thyroid gland. She had to receive shots as well as antibiotics. Maybe your dog has an allergy or something similar. I hope this helps.

It's happened to my dog twice. It could be either a disease of the skin or an allergy. I'd take it to the vet in case there is something more than rough play between puppies going on.

Well...maybe it could be one pup licking another.
Also, I have a three year old female, and from the time I got her she has had skin problems. She has shed like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
Finally, I found a dog food company that serves all natural U.S. grade A meats and fresh cooked veggies.
My shepherd has no more hair loss, My Border Collie has not gained an ounce, and my Basset hound has LOST a few pounds.
No one scratches and digs, and every one seems happy.
I also share a few of my own cod-liver oil pill with the girls every morning according to weight!
Here is the web site for that food.:
info@artemiscompany.com.
I hope you have the success I have.
Lastly, he girls never, never, never! get treats, I go to the meat counter at my local grocery store ans buy marrow bones.
The girls never have the sugar infested treats that are pre packaged by the mega company's and the marrow bones save me from teeth brushing..
My vet. checks them out every time they go and always asks me WHY they have no cavities.............DUH.......no sugar, marrow bones only! Luck to you, love to your pups, shepherd mom also.
O.K. plus, Border collie ,, Basset, Kitty, Python, dove, mice Entire food chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! every one gets the same brand of food, plus some supplements. Every one is happy here.
The mice AND DOVE GET IT PULVERIZED WITH THEIR OWN FEED

My dog had the same symptoms and it turned out to be allergies. The bald spots were self inflicted from scratching. I took him to the vet and was told to sprinkle an over the counter allergy medicine over his food twice a day. To be sure, you should call your vet.

Honestly it just sounds like some sort of skin problem, u should see a vet. and for the lady that said German Shepard's are bred well anymore is a crock! i have a great German Shepard. u should stop parroting what you read off of other websites until u really know what you are talking about.
I wish u the best of luck,
Heather

it could be some type of skin allergy, skin fungus, or maybe he was playing with the other doggies and a scab was there and it fell off. To have a better diagnostic you should go to the vet and have them check it,
