    If you could clone a dog from the past. What dog would it be?

    That is pretty fascinating.

    If I could get one dog back and clone, it would probably be Hollingsworth's Miss Trinx.

    She came to me dying, had only 1 pup in her first breeding (Ch Barbarian), and only 3 pups when I got her before she died (Poncho, Missy, Ruby).

    Her legacy has carried pretty far, from only 4 pups ever born, the last one in 1992, and I am pretty sure that if I could get her back as a pup, feed her raw her whole life, so she could have lots of pups, and if I make consistent selective breedings with her, I am positive she would have been an incredible producer.

    Just because you clone michael jordan or lebron james doesnt mean youll get the best basketball player in history. The thought is very fascinating but the chance youd get the exact same outcome seems not very likely. But.....if it was the case id bring back my ch elwood. Only got one litter off him. Id like to hear from folks who may have tried cloning. Seems like some folks in china or japan or maybe korea may have tried this.

    Environmental factors will determine the outcome of your clone sure. But it is a clone, genetically identical... So the producing ability is more important and less likely to be affected in such a way by environmental factors(how it has been raised, trauma, etc)

    I would want the egg doner and surrogate mother to be provided by myself.

    It would be very interesting to clone a superb bulldog like Gr Ch Titere and see what you get.

    From my understanding, you have to use tissue from a living dog. I should watch the video but my computer is not currently set up to see videos.
    Common sense isn't so common these days.

    I get that black hand and trust me if i knew i would get exactly what i have from cloning it may e id look into a bit more. But what im saying is even if you make an exact replica of dog A it doesnt mean dog Ax is gonna do what dog A did. Back to my original example of the black cat michael jordan. Say he wanted to use his elite athletic ability to play baseball right out the gate instead of balling. Environmental or not, each individual has its own mind body and soul and that you cannot clone. You clone for the genetics not said dog or whatever. Its an interesting debate. i just think if you cloned say...tietre. I think itd be hard pressed that hound accomplishes a fraction of tietre.

    True.
    Maybe knowing what you know now of the make up of that dog helps you take it further than the original... Just as it can take a turn for the worst, you also have the upper hand to make a turn for the better as you are much more knowledgable about what you have.

    Sitting in a baby Michael Jordan and knowing it could make all the difference.
