Cloned Drug-Sniffing Dogs Prove Successful In South Korea

Posted by Soulskill on from the send-in-the-clones dept.

Rexdude writes "A prized drug-sniffing dog at Incheon Airport in South Korea was cloned four years ago, and now the clones have proven to be much more successful at becoming sniffer dogs themselves compared to regular dogs. Not as controversial as human cloning, but are we going to see genetic copyrights on prized animal breeds in the future?"

    Pure-bred dogs are bred in such a small population that they were getting pretty close to being clones anyway.
