She was born with a genetic defect which has left her looking like the Incredible Hulk of Hounds.
While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is “double muscled”

No need to steroid …

Wow…
I like how the article suggested she should maybe be called a “whoppet”. That’s a truckload o’ dogflesh perched on such bitty feet. ![]()
Did you read the Fark thread about this little pooch, jkwest?
There was another about a huge Newfie/Dane mix in the UK
Now that is a junk yard dog if ever there was one!

Nah…I didn’t catch that thread…
I went to go find it and couldn’t locate it either…bummer..
I sure hope the idiots that breed pit bulls (and yes, I know there’s no such thing as a “pit bull”) around here don’t see this!!! ![]()
Heh, built like a couple of my workout buddies.
Oh, and if they keep calling folks with large muscles “genetic defects” they’re liable to end up *ing off folks they reeeeaaally don’t want to. ;p
She has such a pretty face. I love her.
Somehow, I don’t think the dog spent hundreds of hours in the gym to achieve that physique. ![]()
That is sad. She’s pitiful. And I can’t call that a “normal” whippet head either. No…nothing I see is normal.
What Cranberry said- nice looking dog! The whole thing seems kind of sad to me at first, but then again, it’s like the article says- she doens’t realize she has a “genetic defect”. She is what she is, and she seems to enjoy life. Seems that’s what matters for a dog ![]()
No. That’s a devil dog.
I hope it doesn’t make her unable to run, or to act like a dog.
that is a beautiful dog, i wish i had one like that.
Dog is full of win
And heres the owner:

You know, the nail job and earrings are very nearly as frightening as the musculature.
Can you imagine the chat-up lines? “I bet YOU work out!”
