We had a mother and daughter.  The dam had small litters, but put out enough 
coat for 2 bitches.  The daughter did the same but had larger litters.
   
  Liddy had false pregnancies with every heat, blew to naked every time, had 4, 
one still born, in her one and only litter.  She still blows coat, but does not 
get naked anymore.
   
  Sissy is spayed, but currently has enough coat to call her a dog, no more.  
And a bare patch on her ass.  She is fine, just really blowing coat.

  Last month I had an interesting conversation with a longtime Golden 
breeder, over the years she had noticed that the bithes she had bred over 
the years that REALLY blew their coats (down to naked) before their season 
seemed to have larger litters.

Has anyone made similar observations with their bitches?
Our Jakester daughter blew everything 2 months before her heats, we only 
bred her once and had a litter of 8.
I'm curious, seems to make sense.... good high levels of hormones trigger 
the coat blow?
