First... his shedding is probably because of the weather, he is only 10 months this could be his first real shed. Dogs lose hair all year round, at certaint times they will shed more than normal. Also you mentioned pimple like bumps, that could be due to allergies watch the ears and pads of the feet. With dog allergies some get a lot of ear infections as well as itchey pads mostly between the toes. They can get pimply like bumps and some have anal gland problems. My sisters Bull Mastiff has the pimple's ear infections and itchy pads, My dog has the ear infections and anal gland problems. If they dont go away or you notice any other abnormal things then visit your vet. ↑

Any dog that is "blue" or what is actually called "dilute" can have many skin problems. It has something to do with the genes involved with the coloring of the skin and fur. It could be allergies, such as food allergies or even grass, it could be "bully bumps", little pimples that bully breeds seem to be known for, or it could also be the start of some type of mange. The best thing to do is to take the dog to the vet, especially if the dog is losing more fur than he is growing, and if he starts getting red ears or itching. ↑
