The reason that your dog loses her hair after giving birth to pups is because the stage of shedding, and regrowth becomes thrown off. Instead of gradual shedding, a large amount of hair falls out at once. Hormone changes that the pregnant, and nursing dog go through contribute to this.

The pups are usually born in summer. Normally the female wolf can have 5-6 pups.
Phantom pregnacys evolved from when dogs were wolves because in a pack of wolves the alpha female will want to hunt after she has given birth because that is one of the main jobs of the alpha female. Thing is, if she has just given birth, one of the females wolves will have to suckle the pups. So wolves evolved so that the females who don't have pups will still produce milk so they can look after the pups whilst the alpha female hunts with the pack.
