The world’s first cloned dog named Snuppy has successfully sired his first litter of nine puppies, according to researchers at Seoul National University in South Korea. Artificial insemination was the method used to impregnate Snuppy’s sperm into two cloned Afgan bitches, marking the first time that pups have ever been born from cloned parents. This validates the fact that cloned dogs are able to reproduce and opens the door to clone both guide dogs and sniffer dogs, both of which are usually spayed or neutered before their training begins.
