Shedding can be caused by alot of things, females normally shed twice a year, once when they come into heat and then again in the spring when the nice weather comes.

Excessive shedding can be caused by poor food quality, allergies, and health problems and the envioroment (hot, dry) , length of daylight also.

And
>so far she hasn't came into heat yet is this normal?

A few pekes will only come in once a year but this is not the normal, she may have had a "silent heat" meaning she did not bleed or swell up, and in that case you may have easily missed that.

>Hope you can answer some questions for us. When
>should we get her nuetered?

You should get her "spayed" as soon as possible now that she is an adult.

thank you
