Scientists cloned Dolly the sheep in 1996. In 2003, the first horse was cloned and the field is advancing quickly. Want to clone your Texas Longhorn or favorite Collie? Today, you can hire a Texas company called ViaGen to clone not only your cow or dog, but also your horse, goat, pig, or cat.
Many breed associations prohibit clones, including the Jockey Club (thoroughbred registry) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). Because the AQHA refuses to register clones, these animals cannot compete in Quarter Horse racing or AQHA sanctioned horse shows.
In 2012, some Texas breeders brought a lawsuit against the AQHA, alleging that this refusal to register clones violated the Sherman Act.
