At 12 months it should be hitting the floor but that does not mean its fully grown into a full coat the shih tzu will have its full think double coat at about 2-3 year depending on hair type. now the hair above the nose is a different story it will be able to going a rubber band at about 6-7 months but wont be fully grown out till around 1-2 years. i am currently growing out y shih tzu puppy now and have a ale eho is full grown he has a full think double coat which is hard to remove mats because there's only minimal grooming aloud on a show shih tzu as far as cutting the hair so all mats have to be brushed, conditioned out.
I doubt that your puppy is really ill. It's most likely losing it's puppy coat. This happens no matter what season it is :)

the dog might be sheding or just have skin problems? but my dogs only comes out when he sheds.
Generally about a year of age, give or take, is when the adult coat starts to take over. My bichon had a puppy coat for less than a year, but others I've known have taken over a year to lose their puppy coat.
Yes, pomeranian puppies shed hair. Shedding usually occurs during the changing of the seasons.
its shell comes off and it grows a new one
Bichon puppies do molt, typically between the ages of 6-12 months. This shedding is normal as they lose their puppy coat and grow their adult coat. If excessive shedding continues beyond this age or is accompanied by other signs like bald patches or skin issues, it may indicate an underlying problem that requires veterinary attention.
At 14 weeks old, a Shih Tzu puppy may begin to experience some coat changes as it transitions from its puppy coat to its adult coat. This is a normal process, and you might notice some shedding or changes in texture. Regular grooming can help manage this transition and keep the coat healthy. If you notice excessive shedding or skin issues, it's a good idea to consult a veterinarian.
