Superheroes!
Superheroes not only come in all shapes and sizes but also breeds.
However, not all superheroes have powers to jump through tall buildings or exhibit superhuman strength.
Sometimes they have furry paws and cold noses too.
Why We Love Our Dogs
Our canine best friends show their incredible skills to us on multiple occasions especially when we needed them.
Passion for getting the job done, superb courage, showing empathy to us as humans even during uncertain times.
These are the characteristics that cause us to love them and depend on them.
Check This Little Superhero Out, Isn't He Adorable?
But training dogs for a desirable quality requires a lot of patience, time love and funding. It also requires specific and consistent training to have a higher chance of success.
A team of Chinese scientists crafted a unique solution to replicate specially trained dogs unconventionally.
Smart People At Work
Cloning, WOW!
They carefully cloned a top dog named Huahuangma from Kunming, in Yunnan Province.
Huahuangma is a 7-year-old dog-wolf hybrid and a sniffing prodigy that resembles a German Shepherd.
The military and police regularly employ him because he has excellent skills.
Huahuangma helped solve several murder cases working with the Yunnan province police thanks to his sharp nose.
Huahuangma’s hard work earned him the title “first-class meritorious dog.”
Time and Money Can Be Incredible
However, training a dog to become a high caliber canine unit can take four to five years. The cost is a staggering amount of money.
An estimate being 380,000 to 500,000 Yuan.
To solve this dilemma, the Chinese scientists invented a breakthrough method of cloning Huahuangma. They named the new puppy Kunxun, China’s first cloned dog.
Yunnan Agricultural University, Sinogene Biotechnology Company, & the Ministry of the Public Security pioneered the project in Beijing.
Kunxun started his training when he reached three months of age. He is expected to require much less training time because of his genetics.
Remember This Face
Creating a New Process
A series of test conducted confirms Kunxun’s potential exceeds other regularly bred Kunming Wolf Dogs.
The research group plans to standardize the practice. They are establishing a cell bank of harvest cells from top-notch police dogs throughout China.
A similar program began in South Korea which has led dog cloning science since 2007.
