US startup raises $200m to gene-edit and clone military dogs
Warhound says over 80% of US military working dogs come from Europe, a company figure.
A US startup has raised $200 million to gene-edit and clone military and police dogs, with the first puppies due in early 2027.
Warhound is taking cells from top working dogs, mostly Belgian Malinois, and tweaking their genes to cut the risk of hip dysplasia and certain cancers. Palmer Luckey's defence firm Anduril is designing their goggles, vests and body armour.
Co-founder Ben Lamm says faster legs and sharper noses could come later.
Should we be editing dogs' genes at all, even for their health?
