IMO it is possible that the clone will not be reproduced as an identical from the cloned individual for several reasons...inside the womb the cloned pup might not be in the exact same type of environment as the animal it was cloned off of...let us say that the animal used for clonings mother was a great hunting dog that was hunting 3 times a week when pregnant and the pup inside who is attached to her for nourishment etc... went along for the ride...all her excitement when she inhaled the scent of a boar and trailing off the scent caused chemical reactions that somehow affected the pup...he felt her excitement and when he was born he had a natural inclination to love baying and running a hog...his dam also ate quite a bit of raw meat so that also was a factor in making him what and who he is...all those things could have caused him to be born a certain kind of way phenotypically and genotypically...his dam is a plott gyp and it is possible that that super active lifestyle she maintained while pregnant could have also played a big role on what her son came to be...
That Plott pup turns out so good they decided to clone him and they use an old collie gyp as a the one to carry the embryo to full term...she does not hunt and only eats dog chow and nothing else...she does not exercise and the cloned pup is born and...
the cloned pup is raised in a totally different environment as the super plott that was cloned...so does that play a role in creating a bigger difference in the two?
Interesting perspective but I don't think the pup in utero has any idea as to what mom is sniffing or getting excited about. If that was possible every body would be hunting pregnant bitches.
