Quick answer

Yes. They have a substantial coat and shedding is a normal part of living with the breed, with heavier seasonal periods.

In practical terms

Frequent brushing removes dead coat and helps find tangles. Localised hair loss, red skin, scabs or intense itching should not be assumed to be normal shedding.
