Yeah okay he is cute but the technique is dangers…this is the modern fountain of youth!
Labrador duplicated from dead pet’s DNA
The dog who was cloned after his grieving owners could not bear to say goodbye has become a dad.
Lancelot Encore fathered eight pups born to a Labrador bitch – which are now being offered to the public.
The birth means that saga of Sir Lancelot – Lancelot Encore’s own ‘father’ – continues to a new generation.
Owner Nina Otto, from West Boca in Florida, said she was ‘tickled pink’ that the babies had arrived naturally, although the mother was artificially inseminated.
She has set up a website labraclone.com which offers ‘future pups from the past’ and will use it to sell seven of the puppies which are a mixture of cream and fox-red coloured.
Mrs Otto however declined to reveal how much they would cost.
She said: ‘I am keeping one and we are hoping to find good homes for all the other puppies.’
Mrs Otto explained that she paid a few thousand dollars for a lab to inseminate the female Labrador, who is called Scarlett.
Lancelot Encore was the first commercially cloned pet and his owners paid $155,000 for the service
