Once the pups were born DNA testing against the original Dire, and the Hybrid Dire would be continuously studied, using different specimens, if available. Then take pup with the highest percentage of Dire create new embryos from original Dire. Possibly creating a higher DNA of Dire Wolf.
The company isn’t looking for “it just looks like a Dire” because funding could go away.
The hope is with each specimen the DNA % will successfully increase using Lab Created Embryo from Hybrid pup again using DNA of extinct Dire.
Then again is the Dire DNA uncompromised? Or other species involved previously with the Dire that skeletal remains have not been discovered? As of now it’s not actually a Dire Wolf but a Dog with a handful of Dire Wolf genes spliced in.
The question is the purpose of experiment. Their habitat is long gone

I suppose the worry is that they will go Jurassic Park on their handlers.
