I'm sorry but it is difficult to tell anything from the photo. If there are no bald spots present them I am guessing it is normal shedding for that breed of dog. We call it "blowing their coat". Here is a great article on this problem: http://www.wideopenpets.com/coat-blow-what-it-is-and-how-to-manage-it/ If this still doesn't answer your question feel free to post again. With photos take one far away and one close up if there is a bald spot or problem area. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
