eastcoast 4,006 Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Re-creating the old stamp working type Sealyham terrier would be an interesting project. A skilled breeder could have the newly created type breeding true in 4 generations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See the occasional litter advertised on sites such as Pets4Homes, freakish looking things for £1000+ money. I was taking the piss, D B Plummer made the claim years ago as to how easy it would be to re-create the Sealyham. He maybe could have done, a very clever man by all accounts, but didn't. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes i know that, only God has the correct codes, where in the case of thylacine they can check multiple specimens and get a better match to the correct codes, the mammoth they hope to use the asian elephant but how close they get who knows? The dire wolf bones where found in the boneyard aswell as north american lions, how well preserved the dna is though is anyones guess, but 1 thing they were discussing was the mammoth meat they ate at bbqs, there must be some well preserved carcasses around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
