One of the reasons we breed dogs is to make better dogs. I don't believe that you have a chance at a better dog with a clone. Maybe as good but maybe not. With a breeding you are crossing up 2 sets of chromosomes in hopes of something better. JMO
I agree also. I also think you will never get better dogs then what is in the pedigree of the dogs you are trying to breed. The problem is when you have the really great dogs, they have such a hard time reproducing there selves. Cloning might get you there a little faster but it is going to be too expensive for the average dog owner. I have owned & seen a few dogs that I would love to have a clone of, even if they were not quite what the original was.
