I agree with the OP. I don't have a problem with cloning working dogs. Humans have been selectively breeding animals for thousands of years. Cloning, for all intents and purposes, seems to be an extreme version of what we already do. It also appears to be healthier than inbreeding. I do have similar concerns as genuinegirly regarding widespread cloning.

What is the "soul debate"? Monozygotic (Identical) twins are genetic clones. Do they have soul issues?
