As there's so many Staffie owners here...

Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. Hoofa's 18 months now and he's had a bald spot on the top of his head from the age of around 6 months (if I remember rightly). His dad and brother had it, although his brother's disappeared months ago. I've been told that it's due to testosterone and is common in Staffies, so I thought I'd ask you lot!

I'll get a pic on later. He's un-neutered. Was meant to be getting the chop a couple of weeks back, but one of my snakes needed veterinary treatment, and money being tight at the moment I couldn't afford both.

It seems to be at a permanent stubbly stage, and never gets past a few millimetres long!

Tara has a bald spot on the top of her head, she has had it a couple of months, the fur is just begining to grow now. She also has one ear that sticks up, due, so i am told to her teething.She is 8 months..

Buddy had that too, hes now nearly 1 and its grown but is still shorter than the rest

How big is the spot?
They do usually go with time and they may also get a small bald area in the midddle of the tail

A lot of the dogs that I've dealt with have had this problem. No worries though it usually grows back in. The one in the middle of their tails is caused by an overactive sweat gland yet again nothing to worry about.
Tracie

ive heard of it being refered to as "staffy shillin" and i think bull dogs get it too

Gus had the tail spot and it soon went

That's interesting about the tail...he had that too, but that got all scabby and sore where he wouldn't leave it alone.

I'm just uploading a pic now

ok here's a piccie...
