Sure, makes sense that they could've brought frozen embryos of domestic species with them, along with seeds/spores/etc in case the new home needed terraforming. Since the intent was colonization instead of mining or prison labor, they could/should've had leeway to bring what they wanted. Would think they might've brought more of a guard dog breed; though there's potential for dogs like Picasso to assist with retrieving what's hunted, I guess, or other service animal roles.

I also wondered why he was the last; why wouldn't other Primes at least have dogs? Maybe the dog embryos were stored with the human ones and got destroyed along with them. Or maybe it's just an "it's good to be King" situation and only Russell was allowed an exception; equality wasn't something that society valued.
