Six white male dogs collectively named Toppy reported for duty at a training facility for sniffer dogs run by the Korea Customs Service in Yeongjongdo, Incheon on Thursday morning. Chase, the father of the dogs, and his six sons look exactly the same -- because the sons were cloned, born to surrogate mothers via the transfer of the nucleui of Chase’s somatic cells. The cloning project was carried out by a team of Seoul National University veterinarians led by Lee Byeong-chun -- a member of the disgraced cloning expert Hwang Woo-suk’s team, who was believed to have invented the method. The Toppies have passed the first round of tests, for behavioral patterns and genetic qualities that would make them good drug-sniffer dogs. They will now be trained to distinguish the smell of various types of drugs until June next year.
