He lives with a black MinPin. Dog is pbly 4-5 yrs. Two months ago, she developed a couple of small dry patches on a rear leg, and the hair turned white. I'm sure they din't see a vet. They shaved the patches (to treat with a topical, I'm guessing), and the hair has grown back white, just in these patches. What say you? Sadie

Ringworm (rare, unlikely) Insect bites. Getting into chemicals, pool chemicals, car wash chemicals. http://s922.photobucket.com/albums/ad67/Grasvaly/

Sorry, this is all very vague in my memory. I think I was looking up Min Pin health issues for someone. But I'll look for it in my saved stuff. You are saying actual patches, right? Not individual hairs?
