No, because there is no DNA of the Lab in the egg, just of the Afgan. They take out the nucleus from the unfertilized egg of the Lab, so it's just a cell, and then they replace it with a nucleus from one of the Afgan's skin cells. So, that makes it 100% Afgan DNA.

.. Or something like that, lol. It's hard to explain. Of course, doing this rarely works.

I'm not so sure if I agree with cloning animals or not. I think the money people spend in order to try to "bring" their deceased pet back could be put to much better use. How many animals in shelters could be saved with the amount of money these people are spending hoping it will work? It's not even the same animal, anyway, but to each their own I suppose..
