pekinese puppy shedding

I have recently bought a pekinese puppy who is 8 weeks old and was wondering if anyone could tell me at about what age do they start to lose their puppy fuzz and begin to grow their adult coat?

I HAVE A PEKINGESE FEMALE THAT WILL BE A YEAR OLD ON MAY 25 SHE HAS ALREADY GOTTEN HER ADULT COAT. IT IS USUALLY ABOUT 4-5MONTHS OF AGE WHEN THEY BEGIN TO GET THEIR ADULT COAT AND IT COULD TAKE A FEW MONTHS FOR THEM TO GET ALL OF THEIR PUPPY FUR SHED. A PEKINGESES HAIR GETS LONGER WITH AGE AND IT ALSO HAS ALOT TO DO WITH HOW OFTEN YOU BATH AND BRUSH IT. I BATH AND GROOM SASSY'S HAIR EVERY OTHER DAY AND SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL COAT ALREADY. MY VET DID TELL ME SINCE SHE GETS BATHED ALOT THAT I NEED TO WATCH HER EARS FOR INFECTION AND HE GIVE ME GENTA-VED SPRAY TO SPRAY ONE SQUIRT IN EACH EAR AFTER HER BATH TO PREVENT EAR INFECTIONS. IT WORKS TOO. SHE HAD ONE AS A PUPPY BECAUSE SHE WAS BATHED ALOT AND HASNT HAD ONE SINCE I STARTED USING THE SPRAY.GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PEKE.
