My dog is a Rat Terrier/Red Heeler mix (white with reddish brown spots). He weighs about 22 lbs. He scratches and licks his "belly" and legs a lot. He eats some dry food, chicken in gravy and beef in gravy. Could this be an allergy to the canned chicken and/or beef. The weather here in Mississippi is humid and he gets out in the dew, could this also be a factor? He likes to stay in the shade not in the sun except when it is cold.

Your dog staying in the shade out when it's sunny is perfectly normal. Unless the food is new, then that also can't be the problem. Maybe you could give him a bath and take him to the doctors to get cream to rub onto his stomach and legs. If he is losing hair in his armpits, neck, and other places, then that means he has developed seasonal allergies and needs medication.
This could be a mold problem too. Wipe his belly and legs with witch hazel once a day see if that helps.
