hair loss is pretty typical for them after whelping due to hormone changes. it happens in human women too.



for more info, ask your breeding mentor.



please spay your dog.



also, make sure mom is being fed a high quality puppy food.

Just like in humans, female dogs through all sorts of hormonal changes during heat cycles and pregnancies. I would call the vet, however, because it could be normal and she suffer no ill will from it.



However, there is a form of mange that can be hereditary, and it can hit the females during their first pregnancy. If she has it, the puppies probably do, too.



It may be normal, but have her checked out just to be sure.

It is normal for a dog with pups to "blow out" her coat, right about the time you want her to look her best for puppy buyers!



You can not prevent it, and it will grow back.



I hope you will screen your puppy buyers very carefully, make a contract to take them back if the new owners can't keep them, and not let them go to new homes till they are at least 8 weeks, 10 would be better.

I would say take her to the vet. She might have some type of fungus on her skin that need to be treated with a skin ointment. Or the vet could check to she if she has any parasites.



Hope this helps.
