The coat color of a dog does not determine whether or not the animal will shed. The coat type of the dog does, and Shepherds (German, Belgian, Australian, etc) With the German Shephard and some Shepherd Mixes being a notorious heavy shedders. The amount of shedding a dog does veries between the different coat types.
German Shepherds for example have 3 basic coat types that range from a "long" coat to a shorter "medium coat. The 3 basic coat types for German Shepherd Dogs are:
• The long coat - has longer fur and lacks an undercoat
• long stock coat - has longer fur with an undercoat.
• stock coat - The typical/common/standard double coat
Plush, is a term thats used loosely to describe when the coat appears between stock and long stock.
With the 3 genetic coats there can be variation in length, such as a shorter "tight" stock coat (as appears in your first link) or a longer "plushier" stock coat in your second link.
One thing that is common of the German Shepherd, and quite a few other Shepherd breeds, is that they do shed throughout the year but especially when the seasons change particularly between the Winter/Spring Seasons and again between the Summer/Fall seasons.
As such, German Shpherds require regular grooming of their coats in order to help keep them from ending up with problems with their skin becoming irritated by the dirt, dead skin cells and oils becoming trapped in the undercoat.

Deer are mammals and they don't shed their skin anymore than
cats or people. Loose some hair/fur maybe but that's all.
