Do Shar Pei shed?
Yes, but Shar Pei do not shed year around. They tend to shed in the spring and in the fall. The spring shed is the heaviest due to shedding of the winter coat. And the first spring shed for Shar Pei puppies is especially heavy because puppies are also shedding out their soft puppy coat. Some Shar Pei dogs will develop a moth-eaten appearance to their coat during shedding. This is particularly noticeable on the horsecoat Shar Pei. This is normal and is not a sign of skin disease. Bathing and brushing will get the old dead hair out and promote new hair growth.
