One of my bitches lost some hair around her eye when she had mange (are you sure she is not scratching more than she should?) Maybe an intolerance to food??
Who cares about a few dog hairs!

no she is not scratching it at all! i changed her food because when i had her the bloke she came from was feeding all the pups on adult dry food not puppy which i thought was way to strong for her

My vet told me Staffs are one of the breeds that are prone to Demodectic mange as pups with symptons being thinning hair around the eyes and on top of head,many self heal without further symptoms but it is worth a trip to the vets to check it out.Advocate spot on is one of the medications recomended if you do need any treatment.
