That would explain the shed just before whelping, but 9 weeks prior, a
wolf bitch has NO clue where she will whelp. So that is not the answer. I
still think it is because they think they look better naked.
Actually, most wolves come in heat once a year, in the spring, which
would make the shed in line with loosing the heavy winter coat. The
hormones could cause added release of coat. It is passed on to our dogs,
GSD's in particular because our dogs are more natural than many other
breeds. There are breeds that do not shed at heats. Can't remember off the
top of my head, I don't deal in other breeds much, except for training, and
since most of my clients don't show, neutering is one of the issues I cover.
My rather uneducated guess is that it is a combination of hormones and
wolf like timing. You might take your question to a vet school.

In regards to my post:
"I am sure there must be some biological reason a bitch blows coat before
going into heat. I understand that it is hormonal, but is there any other
reason for it?
I was also told by someone that their line of bitches does not blow coat.
Can this be true? Do some lines blow more than others, making it a genetic
issue?
Thanks in advance."
I did not get many responses, so assume people just don't know. But I am
sharing the one response I did get that makes PERFECT sense!
in the "wolf" days, the bitch lined her nest with the coat she was
shedding - provided a nice warm and soft place for her babies.
Just wanted to share, I thought it was great info. And if you think about
it, when the bitch gets up from where she was laying all night it kind of
resembles a nest, poof! kind of like a porcupine, all the hair is around
them. Well at least that is how it is here.
Thanks again for all that responded!
Health and Happiness,
Pam and her pack
