Meet Lola the Shar Pei. This is a blog about Lola’s DNA and how you can get one just like her

Introduction

Lola is a Shar Pei. She’s amazing and sweet and cute, but she has some problems. Lola is getting older, and her skin gets dry. Her joints hurt when it rains. She also has arthritis in her back legs, which makes walking difficult for her sometimes. The vet said these issues are just something we have to deal with as Lola gets older—but that doesn’t have to be true! With modern technology, there’s no reason we can’t help other Shar Peis like Lola age gracefully (and maybe even live forever).

Step 1: Find an awesome dog

  • You want to start off with a great dog. Here are some tips for finding one:
  • Check their health, temperament and personality.
  • Make sure they’re not too big or too small for your home. Look at their size relative to the space you have available in your house (and yard).
  • Think about how old the dog might be when you get it — we don’t recommend getting puppies as adults, but sometimes families do this! If so, make sure it won’t be too difficult to teach them what they need to know in terms of potty training and socialization skills. And if you do end up getting an older dog, make sure it’s healthy enough for adoption — no matter what age group they fall into there could still be health issues that come up during adoption time!

Step 2: Send some blood away to a lab

Send the DNA away to a lab for testing.

You can do this by sending your dog’s blood, which can be obtained from their mouth (a small amount), their skin, or a few hairs from their tail. The process is best done via blood collection kit that you can purchase online, or in person at your local veterinarian.

If you choose to participate in this activity with a veterinary professional; they will typically provide instructions on how to collect a sample of your dog’s hair and/or saliva. You’ll want to follow these instructions carefully as it may differ slightly depending on the type of laboratory being used (i.e., whether it’s mailed out for analysis).

Step 3: Now you have a dog’s DNA

DNA is a bunch of molecules that store information about how to make a dog. It’s what makes you different from your sister and vice versa, even though you share the same parents. When we talk about DNA, we usually mean it as “molecules that are stored in the nucleus of cells.”

DNA stores information with four nucleotides: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). These letters can be arranged like this: ATCGTTTTACGGGTCATGTGAATCTCACTGCGGGGCCAGTCTGATTACCCCTATTACCGGTGCTTAATAATACCCCGGAGTGAAGTGGCGCAATCTACTGCCTTCAGACCGGTGATGCAAAATTACTACACTGCAGCGTCCTTAATAACCAGCACCAAGTCACAACACCAACAACAATAAGCAAAATTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTTTTTTTTTTTT

Step 4: Clone the DNA

The fourth step is to clone the DNA. This is done by inserting the DNA into an egg, which is then implanted into a surrogate dog that gives birth to the clone. The puppy is literally just like its original, but it will cost you over $50,000!

Step 5: Make a clone puppy!

Once you have Lola’s DNA, you can make a clone of her!

Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of a living thing. The most famous clone was Dolly the sheep, who was cloned in 1996 by scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. Cloning has been done with many species, including cats, cows and dogs.

You can follow these steps to clone your dog:

  • Take a small sample of hair from your dog (about the size of a pencil) and put it in some liquid nitrogen for storage. You should keep this sample stored at -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit) for later use during cloning. If you don’t have access to liquid nitrogen at home or work (or if your dog doesn’t have any hair), I recommend using dry ice instead because it comes with its own container/bucket that holds all of the dry ice needed for storage purposes!

It’s very simple to get a dog who is nearly indistinguishable from your old one.

It’s very simple to get a dog who is nearly indistinguishable from your old one. You’ll need to send some blood away to a lab, where the DNA will be cloned and then inserted into an egg that has been emptied of its own DNA. The embryo will then be implanted into a surrogate mother so that it can gestate as usual, emerging from its shell weeks later as a puppy.

It may sound complicated, but it’s actually quite fast and efficient once you’ve gone through the steps described above! This process will give you exactly what you want: another dog with whom you can share your life for years to come!

Conclusion

We hope you enjoyed learning about how to clone your dog. It’s a fascinating process that we thought would be worth sharing with the world. We’re always looking for new ways to make our lives better, and this is certainly one way to do it. Who wouldn’t want their very own Lola?
