Six Cloned Dogs Officially Join Beijing Police Force

During a reception ceremony at the police dog base of the Beijing Public Security Office on November 20, six identical cloned dogs officially joined China’s city police force.

These dogs are the result of a successful project led by the Beijing police dog facility to create the best dogs to engage in crime prevention.

All six dogs are the Belgian Malinois breed. They are the clones of the two excellent police dogs working for the Beijing police.

They were born in August. Their DNA is 99% matched with the original dogs.

Ma Jinlei, a police officer who is in charge of training the dogs said that although these dogs were only four months old, they had proved to have great qualities and demonstrated similar abilities to a 6-month-old police dog.

The six dogs born through cloning will be administered ad trained strictly. At the same, they will be constantly monitored for the cloning of many police dogs in the future.

Even more, a cell bank has been set up for the storing of the genes of the top police dogs.

This project is still going on under the cooperation with Sinogene, a company based in Beijing, which is one of China’s leading companies in the fast-growing pet cloning industry.

Back in 2017, Sinogene successfully announced the world’s first cloning dog through gene editing.

At the beginning of this year, the company also gained attention after cloning a man’s dead cat, helping him find happiness at the price of 250,000 yuan or Rs 2550,763.
