Hi everyone,
I can't take the chance of my dog and bitch getting together again. I would like to breed from both of them again in the future so I wondered if any of you have researched these two and which is the least likely to cause problems in the future?

Personally I don't think either are sensible to use over any sustained period of time, especially if you intend to breed from either.

Can they not be crated for the little time that the bitch is in season?  What is you Vet advising you?

I looked into this for one of my boys but when I was told the cost by my vet decided the easiest option was to put my girl in kennels when she was in season, I use a very good establishment owned by people well known in the showing community and have complete trust in them.

Delvosteron for the bitch -NO WAY in my opinion. It can and often does cause serious problems and if there is any chance you ever want to breed from the bitch, don't do it. Suprelorin for the dog is a lot safer and I didn't think the cost was too bad but of course if you repeat it twice a year it certainly will build up -you'd be paying as much as for a neutering op once a year essentially. Also remember you cannot show the dog as his testicles will shrink. He will however work once he's come off it and testicles will go back to their normal size.

But of course one part about breeding is ensuring you are always ABLE to keep dogs away from bitches in season, and personally I would not even consider breeding unless I had a set up that would allow it. I have two bitches in season at the moment and a third and fourth due in any day but I know I can safely separate them from my entire dogs.

Thanks everyone. The problem in the past has been idiots letting my dogs out. I'll kennel one of them when the time comes.
