They could be due to "walking dandriff", which is a kind of ectoparasitic mite, or dander, or dead flaking skin.  If the dandriff only become noticable since you turned on the heat in your house it could signify dry skin.  Try adding some Omega 3 fatty acids to your dogs diet if it is due to dry skin.
