What are the skin bumps on my Dachshund, looks like pimples?

My 15 week male Doxie has had little dry skin bumps on the top of his head (since he was even younger). He acts perfectly fine and doesn't scratch at them or anything. The bumps seem to be on his neck and back now, so it's gotten me curious. They are not red or festering. They are just really dry and look like pimples, zits, or maybe in grown hair. They are so dry that it looks like he has dandruff. We are going to the vet tomorrow for our female Doxie's 9 wk check up and plan to ask the vet. But I was curious if any other Doxie owner's or other dog owner's have had a dog with dry skin bumps/ pimples/ in grown hairs?

It could be ingrown hairs or puppy acne, even a little skin infection.
Reply:YES! not a Doxie owner, but i had a border collie x that was allergic to grass, dirt, pine and fleas. also wheat which is the first ingredient in most dog foods in grocery and department stores. it affects dogs in different ways. Timber and Bandit both had bumps, hot spots and hair loss. I also had a shephard mix that developed diabetes that Beneful was a contributing factor for. Bandit is also full of inopperable cancer and has a chronic ear infection because of OLD ROY.
