How do I clone an in-game dog or cat?

[SimCoffee]

I have a dog in one neighborhood and want to clone him for another. I used SimPE to export him to my desktop, then stuck him in my DL folder, but he didn't show up in CAS.

I did a robust search here and at MTS2 for a tutorial on making a simple clone but only found stuff on a Wormrat program which is more extensive than I need. Can someone please tell me how to clone an in-game pet or a link to a tutorial? I used to see them long ago but not now. Thanks in advance.

if you put the package file in the PetBreeds folder, does it show up in CAS?

I'm pretty sure you don't extract pets. You have the owner use the phone to Register Breed. I"m not sure how you actually share the breed with other people, but that's how you make a pet available in CAS - by registering the breed.

What Engram says. Pets cannot be packaged and extracted like Sims. Follow her suggestion and register its breed.

Umm, there is a section on this very site (& a ton of other sites) where one can download pets that someone else has made. perhaps that is what SimCoffee would like to do...

SimCoffee? 

I only know, from my experience, that by exporting pets from SimPE does not work but if you register its breed and then go to CAS you can recreate it for another family. Of course there must be another way, if you say that players upload and download pets, it's just that I have never done it myself.
