Texas Startup Aims to Revolutionize Military Working Dog Supply Chain

Warhound, a Texas startup founded by Ben Lamm and Palmer Luckey, has raised $200 million to clone and genetically edit dogs for American troops, police, and emergency responders. The company aims to replace the current supply chain, which heavily relies on European breeders, by producing healthier and more effective working dogs. Warhound plans to bank cells from proven dogs, edit those cells, and clone the animals, with the first litter expected in early 2027. This development was first reported by SOFX.
