If you've only one or two dogs a bitch in season in the middle of the shooting season is a pain in the backside though

Better to miss a bitch for a week or three than to have a love sick dog that never keeps its mind on work - seen a few Labs (mostly) and the odd Springer that is less interested in work that in following around any bitch in the team. Guess thats the owner's fault for not getting a grip on the dog (preferably round its bloody neck).

Just like men

Mmmmm, not sayin'

I run a team of dogs, none of them sex pests!

That's cos you're a woman.

None of my entire dogs have ever taken any notice of in-heat bitches when they are working on a shoot day.

Does anyone have experience of using Delvosteron injections to temporarily supress a bitch's seasons? Miesque?

I would appreciate factual information and first hand experience if anyone willing to share.
