You don´t seem to know much about AI or breeding.
1. you don´t buy a dog to get his seemen either but you pay for the seemen like you pay for the stud dog. So where´s the difference.
2. Not every seemen is able to get deep frosted, in dogs it is usual to use fresh seemen in dogs that don´t manage to mate in normal ways, something very questionable.
3. All of us here breed Czechoslowakian Wolfdogs no Hybrids and that out of good reasons. Why should anybody here support the breeding of a American Wolfdog.
4. Wolves don´t produce fertile seemen out of breeding season, June is no breeding season.

It´s better for that people that you waste your money with them. That is my opinion.

It is people like you that are supporting puppymills trying to save some Euros.
Nebulosa is absolutely right. If you do it properly you raise the bitch yourself, what means you only pay into it for 2-3 years, you spend a lot of time and traveling for finding a good one, you do several exhibitions, bonitations, endurance runs and health tests. Then you spend a lot of time and traveling to find a good stud dog, you take the risk of the bitch not getting pregnant. You spend an extremly high amount of time for several month on puppies, visitors and socialisation. You have to pay for stud fees, good puppy food, several dewormings and vaccination and microchips, the pedigrees, the official controle of the kennel and the puppies. If your kennel isn´t well known now it is very likely you have to keep some puppies for quite a long time as long as you aren´t so irresponsible to give them cheaper to anybody no matter how good the place is. To build up a good reputation you have to spend a lot of time and money and traveling.
If somebody complaines about our prices that is the end of the conversation about buying a puppy, I value my puppies much too high to sell them at any price to somebody who doesn´t value their real worth.
