(Newser) – Snuppy, the world’s first cloned dog, is now part of another milestone, AFP reports. South Korean researchers said today that Snuppy mated with a cloned female to produce a litter of 9 puppies—the first offspring of two cloned canines. “This shows the reproductive ability of a cloned dog,” said the triumphant lead researcher. The team plans similar breeding experiments with its cloned wolves.
