A police force in China is getting ready to deploy its latest tool in the fight against crime; a cloned police dog.

The puppy, a kunming wolfdog called ‘Kunxun‘, was created in the labratory using cells from what police described as the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ of canine law enforcement as part of a program they hope will reduce the considerable cost and training time needed for the police dogs of the future.

Kunxun was born in December last year at the Sinogene Biotechnology Labs in China.

The genetic material used to create Kunxun was taken from a 7-year-old female police dog named ‘Huahuangma’ who has helped police to solve 12 murder cases and has participated in over 20 other important investigations.

In 2016, this dedicated and hard-working police dog was given the first-class meritorious dog awards by China’s Ministry of Public Security.

Sinogene hopes that the cloning of Huahuangma’s “excellent genes” can protect the breed and be “passed down from generation to generation.”

The company is conducting the project along with Yunnan Agricultural University and the Ministry of Public Security, according to Chinese state media.

In September 2018, scientists began cultivating Huahuangma’s cells from a few millimetres of skin samples.

The contents of the somatic cell were then implanted into an egg cell that had its nucleus removed.

This embryo was then transferred to a surrogate beagle.

Kunxun’s DNA is 99% the same as Huahuangma’s, China’s Global Times reported.

On March 5, 3-month-old Kunxun flew to the Kunming Police Dog Base in China’s Yunnan province to begin the intensive training required to become a police dog.

She is showing “a better potential” than non-cloned Kuming wolfdogs already, the base’s leading researcher Wan Jiusheng told the Science and Technology Daily.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
