RE: need advise
Take her to your vet....it could be any of several different things. She could be allergic to something or another. She could also have a thyroid deficiency (that can cause hair loss). I doubt if it the food you are feeding her. At any rate, let your vet take a look....

RE: need advise
I would have it checked out. The puppy is a little young for allergies. If it is itchy the most likely thing is skin mites (mange). If it isn't itchy (or just very mildly itchy) the most likely thing is a fungal infection (ringworm) or a bacterial infection.
