Dog Cloning - would you ever go for this?

No, never. All it would do is produce a dog who looked like mine but it wouldn't reproduce their personality which is what I love my dogs for at the end of the day.

It's difficult enough when you have taken on a new dog after the loss of another not to compare them but to have one that looked so similar to it would make this task even more difficult.

There was a thread on here about this subject a little while back. With lots of views expressed. I personally wouldn't go for it no.

It would break my heart to "see" Ima every day but it be different dog

Never. Pereg is who she is because of what she is, not what she looks like. And I love her because of what she is, not what she looks like.

No I find the whole concept too weird for words. When I lost Syd in the summer due to bone cancer I would have given anything for it not to be so, but cloning him wouldn't have helped. He was who he was, a comical b*gger full of character and full of life. He was my ideal dog but a clone would no doubt look like him. as would most well bred brown Dobermanns, it just wouldn't be him. Far easier and preferable to start out with a clean slate of a puppy and allow that puppy to grow and develop into a unique dog all of his own character, who knows he might turn out the same or completely different but he would be himself.

I was devastated when M'boi my lovely Shar-Pei died suddenly just over 18 months ago and because I love the breed so much I was determined to have another but decided on a different colour so as not to remind me or make comparisons with M'boi.

I've had Georgina now for 8 weeks and like M'boi she has some characteristics which are typically Shar-Pei but in other respects she's completely different. Even if I had £63,000 to spend, much as I loved and miss my late girl, I'd never dream of cloning her because I'd miss all the pleasure of seeing Georgie's personality develop in her own unique way.

In a word No

No. I love the individuality that every dog has.

If it was a perfect clone... and I could afford it, I think I might (although obviously it's too late for me now)
