Richard Remde and Laura Jacques paid $100,000 (£67,000) to have their beloved boxer dog Dylan cloned. The first clone puppy, Chance, was born via caesarean section from a surrogate dog on Dec. 26\. The second puppy, named Shadow, was born naturally via surrogate on Monday, [the Guardian reports](http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/dec/28/second-cloned-puppy-birth-british-couple-overjoyed "undefined"). The puppies are healthy. The Guardian reports that the puppies have markings that are identical to markings on Dylan, who died at age eight from a brain tumor. The puppies were cloned from Dylan nearly two weeks after the dog had died, which the Guardian reports is past the prior limit of five days for cloning a dog after death. > [](https://twitter.com/WeLovedDylan/status/680788925074554881) The couple used the [Sooam Biotech Research Foundation](http://en.sooam.com/index.html "undefined") for the cloning service. Sooam has produced more than 700 dogs for customers. \[[_The Guardian_](http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/dec/28/second-cloned-puppy-birth-british-couple-overjoyed "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4163496/cloned-puppy-dylan-chance-shadow/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4163496/cloned-puppy-dylan-chance-shadow/"},"headline":"British Couple Welcomes Second Cloned Puppy","datePublished":"2015-12-29T20:06:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:28:10.608Z","description":"They now have two clone puppies from their dead dog Dylan","url":"https://time.com/4163496/cloned-puppy-dylan-chance-shadow/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Bizarre","Dog","British"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alexandra Sifferlin","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alexandra-sifferlin/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4163496/cloned-puppy-dylan-chance-shadow/","name":"British Couple Welcomes Second Cloned Puppy"}}]}] ```
