Kissimmee, FL, USA -- Miracle Milly , the tiny chihuahua from Puerto Rico, (owned by chihuahua breeder Vanesa Semler ,from Kissimmee, USA,CEO of Hollywood Chis), has 49 clones fromfrom Sooam Biotech on Seoul Korea- thus setting the new world record for the Most Cloned Dog .

"We will be working together with the Director as well as four specialists from the world renown Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) as well as other collaborating scientists to characterize the genetic and epi-genetic factors of the of the cloned Milly and the original Milly. The research data will be analyzed to prepare to publish a scientific article," says David Kim from the Soaam Biotech Research Foundation.

"Since 2006, a controversial biotech lab in South Korea called Sooam has been offering cloning services for the meagre sum of $100,000 (£64,000); I guess some would say their companions are priceless. The company was founded by trained veterinarian and scientific researcher Woo Suk Hwang," the IFLSciencereports.

"The cloning technique Sooam scientists use is the same 50 year old method that brought us Dolly the sheep back in 1996— nuclear transfer. First, cells are taken from the pet to be cloned and the nucleus, the cellular command center that contains the organism’s genetic information, is removed and saved. Next, an egg cell from a donor pet is obtained and the nucleus is replaced with that of the pet to be cloned. The egg cell is then given a small electric shock to stimulate division, and after a few days the developing embryo is placed back inside a surrogate mother. The surrogate doesn’t have to be of the same breed, but ideally they would be of similar size."

"Miracle Milly is the actual World Record Holder for the Smallest Living dog from 2012-2018 and now she's the most cloned dog with more than 49 clones from Sooam Biotech on Seoul Korea," says owner Vanesa Semler, CEO of Hollywood Chis .

"Barbra Streisand cloned a beloved dog , as revealed in a wide-ranging cover story for Variety .Streisand is not the only celebrity to clone their dog. Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg also cloned their Jack Russell Terrier several years ago ," The Money magazine reports.
