Ligerwolf,
I've never heard of a Timber Shepherd or a Czech Shepherd and as far as I know GSD's still have 8% wolf cos of the intense inbreeding done by von Stephanitz the breeds founder.Anyway,I too would hate seeing only females or males imported,however,if only females came here,it actually wouldn't be so silly as we can import semen from a variety of males,without having to feed or house them!To import semen is half the expense,though Artificial Insemination is a relatively costly method and is only 60% successful,from what I hear.Also I have a very dominant male American Bulldog and a small backyard,though I live next to a huge off lead park,so it's a bit tricky at the moment.
Getting back to the CSW's,you know if everybody interesed in importing got semen from various unrelated males a sperm bank could be established,ensuring a great genetic diversity,just thinking.
