[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 397577, member: 440"] I don't have a problem with cloning as long as the animal is identified as a clone. We already have this in our breed association and it's caused a huge stink. The problem that I have with cloning in our association is the animals being able to compete in regular classes with everyone else's animals. I guess this shouldn't matter that much anyway as our breed association already caters to the money folks in letting them slip in blended genetics (as in adding other blood and not having to blood type-this was dropped earlier to protect the cheaters), date changing etc. all for the almighty dollar and what this money can do for them (the association). Basically, I believe that a clone will eventually show up in alot of pedigrees unless folks are very diligent on keeping their pedigrees in order. I personally would not spend the money to clone even if I could afford it but I wouldn't be afraid of an offspring of a clone. I've seen some and they seem perfectly normal in production. As long as the cloned animal is noted on the registration certificate I'm ok with having that animal in my animal's pedigree. I don't have any of these but I think at some point as these cloned animals breed and the offspring circulates that some may show up in breeding programs. [/QUOTE]
