Definitely! There is a reason why they are affectionately known as "German Shedders." German Shepherds have a double coat consisting of a harsher outer coat of guard hairs and a fluffier insulating under coat. They typically "blow coat" twice a year. During those periods you can rake enough dead hair out each day to build a whole Llasa Apso. During the rest of the year a quick once over with a slicker or pin brush will be sufficient, but during shedding an undercoat rake (special tool for removing dead undercoat) is essential.

yes very badly especially in the summer if you want to slow it down wash them at least three times a week & brush them after washing them

It is supposed to be a yearly thing hence the need to brush almot dailey but long hairs are suppose to shed a lot more.

EDITED TO ADD..

I own five German Shepherds and I always tell people that THEY SHED ONCE, ALL YEAR! LOL.

Do King Charles cavaliers shed?

All dogs shed, in fact anything with hair sheds, but it can be kept to a minimum with regular brushing. CORRECTION: Not all dogs shed because not all dogs have FUR. Yorkshires and some other breed have hair. They do not shed much if at all! I would know because I own Purebred German Yorkshires and breed them. There are few breeds that will not shed, but do lose some hairs with bushings. If you are looking for a breed that does not shed, look into a Yorkshire. King Charles do shed quite a bit!
