The U.S. Army first established the K-9 Corps in 1942.
Gordon KeithHOST
And now the Military Working Dog Program, which is the official name of it, the Military Working Dog Program.
Gordon KeithHOST
It has more than 2,200 working dog teams.
Gordon KeithHOST
But isn't it always a dog that works with a person? It's never just dogs working with each other.
Riley MurdockHOST
No word on whether they left a review, but the Wi-Fi apparently worked great.
Riley MurdockHOST
How do we know that if they didn't leave a review? And Warhound is a startup making genetically engineered military dogs.
Riley MurdockHOST
co-founded by the perfect two guys for this.
Riley MurdockHOST
Palmer Luckey, the guy who made Oculus before pivoting to Enduril, AKA Margaritaville Raytheon, and Ben Lamb, the guy behind Colossal Biosciences, the company trying to pull a Jurassic Park with woolly mammoths and dire wolves.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
Clone the pups from those edited cells and had domestic dogs carry them to term.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
So basically we're creating in the lab, we're creating predator war dogs, war hounds.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
And again, again, you know what? This is only going to be good, right? Oh, yeah.
Eric Von HaesslerHOST
There's nothing bad that can happen here.
BrettHOST
It's between Colossal Biosciences, Ben Lamb, and Andrews Palmer Luckey.
BrettHOST
to genetically engineer military working dogs.
BrettHOST
These are cell lines from top Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, gene-edited for health, longevity, speed, and enhanced smell for bomb detection, then cloned by Colossus' Viagen.
BrettHOST
And then Anduril, which is the defense company that's by Paul Malky, he will supply a kit on top of it with sensor-laden bulletproof vests and goggles-feeding handlers.
Rob BlackHOST
In my day and age, mullets were not cool, but I think they're starting to become cool now.
Rob BlackHOST
So Palmer responded to, obviously, the backlash that people have when they hear genetically modified military dogs start up.
Rob BlackHOST
We think about all the sci-fi movies where you genetically modified a shark.
Rob BlackHOST
What are you, crazy? You genetically modified a dinosaur.
Jay YoungHOST
Here, here we are at the, we're at NAPE, the NAPE Expo 2024, and we're real excited.
Jay YoungHOST
Have some of our friends right here, um, Military Dogs, but we're also, I've got one of the best guests in the world, Rhett Bennett.
Rhett BennettGUEST
Oh, I appreciate that.
Jay YoungHOST
Rhett Bennett, Black Mountain.
Mary Anne IvisonHOST
I'll let you do a couple.
Richard McNishGUEST
War Dog is our flagship.
Richard McNishGUEST
Kinda fits with the name of the brewery, and then it, it honors service animals in the military, whether that be from dogs, horses, whatever.
Richard McNishGUEST
So that, that one's pretty key, that just kinda covers generally.
