Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett, she said, were cloned from cells obtained from the stomach and mouth of her 14-year-old dog Samantha. The dog died in 2017.
“They have different personalities,” Streisand said of the dogs. “I’m waiting for them to get older so I can see if they have her brown eyes and her seriousness.”
In the report, she didn’t reveal anything else about the cloned dogs, including the cost.
“Furthermore, the process of cloning cats and dogs is relatively new, so the technology is constantly under improvement. Cloning requires a very unique skill set.”
Sooam said it’s cloned about 80 dogs for Americans since 2007.
ViaGen, based in Texas, says it has cloned two cats. “We decided to step into the companion-animal space because clients kept asking,’’ ViaGen president Blake Russell told the paper. “Over 30 people have already signed contracts, and there is a waiting list.’’
