Some kind of product is mixed in by the vet called extender which I was told was some egg based product but no idea how it works. When I had my dog collected they sent fresh chilled from Ohio to Oregon in order to ship internationally, then in Oregon they cryogenically froze the samples and shipped it in a liquid nitrogen tank to Finland.

Tell them to drive their female to you. Charge a smaller stud fee.
