6 mos old Airedale Terrier

We bought this Airedale terrier when he was 3 months old, he is now 6 months, we live in Az. Recently he was diagnosed with "Marked Focal Dermatophyte Folliculitis and Furunculosis" is anyone familiar with that? How does he get it? The Vet told us it can turn into gaseous gangrene and kill him. He now gets a fungus pill for three weeks and antibiotics. It can also be passed on to humans. Any information anyone can give me would be appreciated. How does a dog get that, we dont live in a wet climate. The Vet feels he brought it from the breeder? Any information at all would be appreciated.
