My Shar-Pei puppy is shedding and has brown spots. Is this normal?

Question

My sharp eagle has developed brown spots all over his body and he is shedding a lot. Is this normal for his bread? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | 8 months and 29 days old | 25 lbs

I am assuming that you mean Shar-Pei rather than "sharp eagle" and that your mixed breed dog has Shar-Pei characteristics. If this is indeed the case, then these changes are quite normal. Shar-Pei's grow their adult coat at around 8 months. During this process they will go through a heavy shed of their puppy coat, sometimes even developing bald spots (temporarily). Changes in coat color or markings are also common when the adult coat grows in. If you are in fact asking about a bird, please repost your question with more details about what you are seeing.
