Dog cloning has always been a difficulty in the field of cloning technology. the reason is that dogs only have two estrus a year, and waiting for dogs to ovulate naturally is the only way to get their eggs.

Dog cloning has always been a difficulty in the field of cloning technology. the reason is that dogs only have two estrus a year, and waiting for dogs to ovulate naturally is the only way to get their eggs. On the other hand, when the dog ovulates, the ovary is in the early stage of development and finally matures at the end of the fallopian tube, so it is very difficult to successfully extract high-quality dog eggs.

Cloning dogs is of great value in medical research, because pathologically, dogs are very close to humans. There are 203 disease models in dogs, compared with 65 in pigs and 123 in cats.
