Hairless Armpits?

[Mike_SK]

I was wondering if its normal for a dog to be normally bald under their arms. Maddie has never had there and the skin looks normal, but I was wondering if the hair isgenerally more sparse or nonexistent under the arms of other dogs too.

All three of mine have plenty of hair there

Mija is bald under her arms and behind her ears completly bald lol...

Oakley has hair, but not nearly as much as the rest of his body.

Id imagine its the same thing as guys wearing shin guards...all the hair just kinds rubs off by the end of soccer season...nothing abnormal or unhealthy though

Riot had a VERY bald belly when he was a pup, its grown in hair now though! lol

Even now under his armpits are fairly bare compared to the rest of his body lol

Bailey has bald armpits too.

Casey has hairy armpits but I know of dogs that have very little hair there.

Yami barley has any hair on his underside. His coat is very very short so it looks like hes balding lol. But, thats just how he is so im sure its normal.

Thanks for the replies... thats good to hear that Maddie isn't alone in her bald armpits. At least I know she's not French, eh? jk

My boy Red is a hairless armpit dog. I thought maybe it could have been hotspots or something like that..Nope he is just hairless in his armpits...
I sure wish I was too! (its a jungle under there) LOL
