All dogs shed. However, if he is shedding excessively (when you pet him your hand comes away full of hair, or he is all of a sudden shedding a lot more than usual), he could have a dietary deficiency or even a thyroid problem.

Ok...I will give you the speech I give my customers:

Short haired breeds are the worst shedders. Now, you can take your rottie to the groomer and request a furminating treatment on your dog or you can buy the tools and do it yourself. This is the most effective way to rid your pet of loose shedding. Furminator.com is the website to get the furminator tool.
