Overview

  • Brady confirmed that his current dog, Junie, is a genetic clone of Lua, which died in December 2023.
  • Colossal Biosciences said the clone was produced from a blood sample collected before Lua’s death using a non‑invasive method.
  • Brady, an investor in Colossal, said the process gave his family a second chance and voiced support for using the technology in conservation efforts.
  • On the same day as Brady’s announcement, Colossal said it acquired Viagen Pets and Equine to combine capabilities and expand cloning offerings.
  • Viagen has cloned animals for celebrities including Barbra Streisand and Paris Hilton, and press reports estimate dog cloning can cost roughly $50,000 to $85,000.
