If we're dumping all the deformed, unhealthy sperm directly onto the eggs, (that would otherwise have never reached the eggs through a natural breeding) creating dogs from junk sperm, are we getting the same quality of dogs from frozen semen breedings that we would a natural breeding?

Or is it just the DNA that matters?

Sorry to go off topic, but i'v often wondered about this.
Is this the reason AI breedings are looked down upon in the Race Horse circles?
