As long as your dog is healthy, this is probably normal. My Peke blew her puppy coat around 10 or 11 months, meaning that she had lost all of her undercoat quite quickly and had not yet grown in her full adult coat. Brushfulls were coming out daily. Then she just had a thin outer coat for a few months and her adult coat started growing in. I've heard that a Peke won't have its full adult coat until 1.5 to 2 years of age. I think there is some more information on this in the website, maybe in "coat care" or somewhere else.
As for spaying your dog, you should probably get that done as soon as possible. My breeder had mine done before I got her - at 7 months.
