Old news, but South Korea will clone your dog for you...
Dying Dog Cloned For $100K


Blue, is a half Mastiff halfGreat Dane



A New Mexico resident dealt with the loss of a furry friend by shipping the dog’s DNA overseas and having a clone made.

 

Blue puts the concept of pure breeding to shame.

And for you working dog enthusiasts meet Toppy and Toppy, and Toppy, and Toppy And .....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toppy

Toppy (a portmanteau of "Tomorrow’s puppy")[1] is the name of the world's first cloned working dogs.[2] They are seven Labrador Retriever clones, and they were born in late 2007 to three surrogate mothers.[1] The project cost 300 million, and was funded by the Government of South Korea;[1] it was led by Lee Byeong-chun, a former aide to Hwang Woo-suk, who fell from grace after hisstem cell research turned out to be fabricated.[3]

Each Toppy is a clone of a successful sniffer dog in Canada;[4] they needed 16 months of training to qualify to work for the South Korean Customs Service.[4] Only 10-15% of dogs are genetically predisposed to being effective detection dogs.[3]

WHA?T THE ............................

 

This is getting too FAR...

@ kahlid, no different than doing dna to determine breed abily of dogs.
And with all this science, the most basic instincts and survival of the dog is over ridden by using AI for dogs incapable of breeding naturally and C-sections for bitches incapable of delivering pups because the heads a so mis-shaped (bull dogs, for example). With all the spay/neuter laws coming into effect in the US, and laws against breeders, cloning may soon be the only means of replentishing the canine population in the US. ( there are laws proposed to make importing dogs into the US illeagal).

Now all we need is the technology to clone dogs in the US, maybe the price will be more affordable.....but maybe not. The likelyhood of the US allowing such technilogical developement seems slim nowadays.

I don´t like it.
Maybe I´m old fashioned, but I still believe in nature. That said, I don´t like genetic engineering, or worse,  cloning.
A dead creature is a dead creature, all of us have to make place for the next generation, be it a plant, an animal, or a human.
Without death no evolution.
We started with plants, we now clone animals, the humans will be next. Who is going to decide which human is good enough for cloning and which not?
Thinking about this I´m glad that this nightmare with all its consequences hopefully won´t happen during my lifetime.

Forgot to mention: There is no perfection, and because of that there always should be further development.

The process of Evolution is never ending but that is through generations. Early and quick fixes will always fall back not resulting into something positive. Death is the Truth and we need to except. From anciant civilization to the most powerful and most influential people - All Have Died or will Die one day. If you go against the law of nature or try to play(Temper) with it, nature will strike in the most uknown manner one can imagine.

khalid Azeem I don't think these clones were created to affect evolution, breed, make money or win trophies. I think that Blue & Lancelot were created to be loved by their owners and for that reason alone. The working Toppy's will work until they die or retire. I think the three Missies were created because Missy's owner loved her, and is connected to education & science.

However, The Pure breedAfghan Hound
"Snuppy" was bred.

Snuppy and DNA Donor Pictured
Snuppy (Korean: 스너피 a portmanteau of "SNU" and "puppy" also known as "doggy"; born April 24, 2005)[1] is an Afghan Hound, credited with being the world's first cloned dog. The puppy was created using a cell from an ear from an adult Afghan hound and involved 123 surrogate mothers, of which only three produced pups (Snuppy being the sole survivor). The team of 45 responsible for cloning Snuppy was led by biomedical scientist Hwang Woo-SukSnuppy has since been used in the first known successful breeding between cloned canines, after his sperm was used to artificially inseminate two cloned females, which resulted in the birth of 10 puppies in 2008.
