My four months old GSD doesn't shed any hair. I consider myself lucky as there isn't any hair lying around, however is this a matter of concern? Thank you in advance. Good day.

Some dogs do shed minimally, but Arjun is still young. You will see some shedding when his adult coat starts to come in, and you may see shedding during specific seasons such as spring and summer when it gets warmer.
