I think the idea of cloning working dogs is a good one, afterall these animals are highly specialised and very sought after. It provides a better way to fill the gaps (such as for drugs dogs or blind dogs) that exist presently than the labourious process of breeding in the traits.
As a long term concept, i'm not so sure, one needs the genetic influx that proper breeding brings to ensure viability.
As for human cloning, they are already doing that to a limited scale for stem cells, what worries me is humanzees.
