Our sweet Nala is almost 16 weeks old.

Sometimes you can see her skin through her puppy hair. It isn't overly thin, just puppy hair, not real thick. She loves to lay in the sun under the bay window. Should I be concerned with her getting a sunburn?

I don't worry about it with my older baby because she has thick hair, but I would hate for her to get a sunburn, especially on the top of her little head.

Hmm. I really wouldn't worry about it, unless she was bald. Never really heard of a dog getting a sunburn.

Sounds like she is Breaking color. This is very common. She may have a silk coat.
