Puppies of 1st Cloned Dog Offered as Pets Posted on Sep 10, 2009, 7:56PM by report411 805 Views, 0 comments, Email It The offspring of Snuppy, the world's first cloned dog, will be offered to a selected group of pet owners later this year, according to researchers at Seoul National University (SNU), Thursday. The artificially created Afghan hound became a father in May last year after impregnating two cloned bitches, in what was the world's first successful breeding involving only cloned canines. One of the 10 puppies died shortly after birth, but the remaining nine ― six males and three females ― remain healthy.
