The purpose of breed preservation is to preserve high performance breeding lines without compromising genetic diversity. This will be accomplished by collecting and storing semen from key studs. This semen will become available to future breeders only after the stud is incapable of natural breedings.

The criteria for determining both qualified studs and recipient bitches will include having an established performance record, having had a healthy natural litter and being registered as Seppala Siberian Sleddogs with the Continental Kennel Club. As of October, 2005, only semen from Race of Seppalta has been stored by the Continental Kennel Club. A private party has stored from Hercules of Seppalta.
