Pekes SHED, no getting around that, ALL pekes shed, the amount they shed is due to the type of grooming you do (how often) and what type of brush you use(the round tip tears out the hair, you should use a normal pin brush) Also depends on what food you are feeding, some food is not all that healthy for them and lacks the oils, nutrients and vitamins needed to maintain a healthy coat. Also depends on how warm your house is and how dry the area you live in.

i want to keep him but can't if the
>shedding continues.

Did you not know that this breed sheds when you got him? Pekes shed twice a year, spring and fall as they get the coat ready for summer or winter, if they are neutered/spayed they will shed continually.

will the shedding stop.

NO, this is NOT a NON-SHEDDING breed.

he is now

>months old. please help me keep my son.

Groom regular and mist with a fine spray of rainwater while you groom. Sorry this breed sheds.
