A cloned dog, believed to be the first of the kind in China, has started training in Yunnan Province in a program to reduce the cost and time needed for training police dogs.

..She was cloned from a 7-year-old female dog, known as Huahuangma, that has been in service in the city of Pu'er, Yunnan, by Sinogene, a Beijing-based biotechnology firm. The cloning is part of the ministry's research program.

Huahuangma played important roles in helping detectives with dozens of murder investigations, and was accredited the first-level merit in 2016, said Wan Jiusheng, an officer who is responsible for training Kunxun.

...Wan said the 3-month-old Kunxun has shown remarkable abilities in adapting to different situations, responding to emergency, hunting, hearing and sniffing. "She has scored a couple of A's," Wan said.

Wan and other trainers are focused on fostering its qualities as a good sniffer dog. "As a cloned dog, Kunxun does not have brothers or sisters. She is rather independent," said Wan.

It's a bit of a CSB as it's still unknown how this will turn out, but it will be interesting to see if this works out better than selective breeding.

Only a matter of time before Yao Ming is cloned for their Olympic Basketball team.

The US needs to experiment more with cloning.

We're going to get left behind

She’s Chinese. Anything less and she would lose face.

They're going to sell the extras to American cops for target practice.

Once cloning becomes cheaper and more efficient, you'll see it in our meat and dairy industry with cows. They already clone race horses and its worked out fantastically for one of the best Polo clubs in the world. LINK

They'll find the cows with the best milk production and clone it 1,000 times. Same with meat quality/quantity/etc.

That's going to be a crazy time to be alive.

The Chinese are not scared to push the envelope with cloning and gene editing. There is no telling what kind of crazy things they are trying that no one knows about.

I wonder if cloning would help with sealife depletion in the oceans too.
