Huh???? You have a much larger window when using chilled than frozen, in other words chilled semen, usually shipped w/ extenders, is viable for a longer period of time that frozen semen that is thawed and implanted. (Days verses hours). BOTH methods work, but your results will only be as good as the timing dome for the bitch and the knowledge of the vets/parties involved. And naturally you need a bitch that has a normal season and can/will carry a litter to term...
