Cloning can be cruel. The dogs still need a mother to carry them to term. These “moms” are treated as broodmares in a lab. Often the puppies are miscarried or deformed, requiring multiple tries.
And much like human twins or triplets, the animal can look exactly the same but have a completely different personality.
Cloning as a rule is kinda fucky, if memory serves right there was an Ibex species that was cloned out of extinction awhile back and most of the subjects were stillborn, except for one that basically died immediately after. But that was also using a sheep surrogate so maybe the species barrier introduced complications.
