It is really hard to tell what is going on with just a photo. The most common things that would cause a puppy to have a bald spot would be trauma (injury), ringworm or mange. Your vet will help you determine what it is. They will probably have to perform a skin scraping to check for mange mites so be prepared for that. I wouldn't be too worried. I hope it's something easy! Best wishes!
