Aug. 3, 2005: The cloned male Afghan hound dog "˜Snuppy,"™ produced by researchers at Seoul National University in South Korea, is shown.
In a move possibly more fitting to a plot in Stephen King"™s "Pet Sematary," a Korean company plans to offer animal lovers the chance to "bring back" their dead companions through cloning, the Guardian reported.
RNL Bio on Friday announced it would work with Seoul National University scientists, who created the first cloned canine, "Snuppy," to offer customers a re-creation of their deceased pet for $150,000.
The company received its first order from a California woman seeking to clone a dead pit bull that saved her life from an attack by another dog, the Guardian reported.
In working on Bernann McKunney"™s request, scientists were to use preserved ear tissue from the dog and said the chance of success is around 25 percent.

I love Dutch to death, and when he goes to fetch ducks for my grand-dad and all the waterfowlers in my family before him on that big impoundment in the sky, then thats where he belongs. No dog could ever replace him, and having a dog that was exactly in his likeness would just make me miss him even more when he does pass on.
Besides, if it wasn't for me working with Dutch, and all that we have been through together, he wouldn't be anything but a plate licker anyway.

There was a movement once, albeit a short one, that tried to raise funds to clone Count Noble (the Llewellin setter mounted in the dog hall of fame). But it fizzled mainly because Count Nobleof yesterdaycouldn't compete in the FTs of today.
Again why would anyone buy a pup for $4000-$5000 when they can buy a perfectly trained dog for that much.
Its hard to sellsomething that no one would want to buy

They could clone Tomoka Sunrise or Snakefoot Ehlew and sell pups for aleast that much. Why? Because their prodigy wins field trails and FTs are big business.

I'm guessing you don't know too much about dogs with titles like NFC, do ya?
