Wendy the Whippet, a mutant double muscled dog, has internet abuzz
On June 25th a dog got her day, but not for saving Timmy from the well or her racing abilities. The Canadian newspaper Victoria Times Colonist then published the story about a muscular dog, which has a mutation of the myostatin gene. The owner is now juggling the international media attention and Wendy even has an offer of a role in a sci-fi series! Read the original article and the followup:
Wendy the Whippet has a genetic disorder that has resulted in an exceptionally muscular appearance. You might mistake her for a pitbull with a tiny head, but she is a whippet. Whippets usually are quite muscular, and at the same time petite. Wendy is a 27-kilogram rippling mass of muscle, two times the size of normal female whippets.
I’m a nice doggy. Really, don’t be afraid…

I can’t believe that dog is so big! it is so cool i want one ^.^ but i have a question does she ever stop growing? what type of dog is she? and what breeds are they mixed with?
The dog is a whippet named wendy she works for the army somewhere in europe i think the russians
you’ve got to be kidding right? The dog has a mutation, it’s not supposed to be like that. It might not be healthy looking like that…
Wendy doesn’t work an army , where the heck did you get that idea !? She lives in Victoria BC (CANADA !) on a farm with her owner Ingrid where her owner managed a horse farm and Wendy roamed the farm . She is still around and as far as I know she isn’t still growing .
*sorry for sounding like a smart-ass , I worked at the farm where her owner managed for 2 years and I knew Wendy . She’s the sweetest thing and so quiet , she never once barked , she’d come and say hi and go lie in the sun out front of the barns !
🙂
Wow, lucky you
You have got to be kidding me. She has a genetic mutation that is very unhealthy and though her death is still unknown, it is likely that her mutation caused her death. You would be extremely ignorant and selfish to purposely breed a genetic mess of a dog just for it’s looks.
her growth size is limited. and no you can’t create one. this is mutated whippet you can’t mix breeds to gain like this one. its 1 in million myostatin disorder
This dog is awesome. It should be bred with a pitbull. I want to know when it will have puppies
you call that a disorder!? i’d love to be an equivilant of that!!
this aint animal abuse i know what animal abuse is it is starving the dog or hitting the dog as u see the dog is in very good shape and she has no sighns of neglect or scarring because her coat is shiny not from the sun but because she is very healthy so get ur facts straight
poor thing i have a whippet and a pitbull but that’s just cruel to over breed and it having to suffer aww…if only animals can speek you know tell people how much there hurting..
Thats dog abus you FREAK!!!!
why did u do that you mAKE ME SICK!
WHAtS WROONG W/ YOU
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU f*********** jerk!
WTF YOU DUMBASS THATS CALLED A “GENETIC DISORDER” but seeing as how you lack he intelligence and cant read the article, im guessing you cant read this let alone know what “genetic disorder” means.
only an absolute fucking moron would abuse that dog
F*** with that dog and it F***s with you… That’s no abuse.. is freakish, but it’s still nature.. let it be, she’s healthy.. so get out of your protesting-a$$ frame of mind, and appreciate that nature does change with mutations.. remember apes to humans? THAT WAS A MUTATION !!!
Darwinism all over again.. BRING IT ON!!!!
er…yea, a few too many ******* right there, fucking does not have that many asterisks when censored. Secondly, I agree with the other dude, u went off the handle for no reason wutsoever, the dog has a “genetic ‘disorder'” which, by the way, disorder??? wtf, if that’s a disorder than call Scott Steiner or Hulk Hogan diseased or ill. I know a lot of ppl who would love that “disorder”. anyways, awesome dog.
Fuk dat dog is meen man i would love 2 hav 1 im just gonna pump my poodle full of roids
what do you mean it is sick, it’s a disorder, no ones done anything to it…
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like the dog but she makes me and my friends laugh because she is soooo fit and like i have got a whippet and he is gorgouse and she i called compo he is a bedlington cross whippet but fast but urs makes me laugh alot but i love her she i lovely . write back as soon as possible thanx
i mean my dog is a boy and he is called compo we named him compo because he is scruffy and off the last ov the summer wines lol i love him to peices and i will NEVER GET RID OV HIM and how does your dog exersize that much in 1 day man that is wonderfull how cool is that i want a dog like yours to mix with mine my dog would love that m8 and i am only 12 i am writing this because i love dogs and i am trying to stop animal crualty i hate seeing animales in danger for them self like i am so fond with dogs and my dog loves me to tears thats how i treat my dog i love him someone aught to tach some other people a leson for LOOKING AFTER YOUR PETS!!!!!!do not be crule to them please please thank u . you have to look after your pets
your pet wendy is soooooo ADORABLE I love her to peices the first time i seen her with my friend lol thank you for reading my message thank you sooooo much . sophie blight
Your an idiot….you need to learn how to read. i cant fathom how you came across this, when your intelligence is so laking.
But if you learn how to read in the near future then look up (mutation of the myostatin gene)…
I agree with some of your criticism but aren’t you also at fault? You spelt “you’re” incorrectly and didn’t use an apostrophe in “can’t”.
you can’t be so ignorant. animal cruelty is not something that one girl can do. even 10,000 girls can barely make a difference. i’m not stopping you from trying, as i want to stop animal cruelty too, but realize that there are too many animals to save.
okayy, this is not abuse, nor is it some retard owner pumping his/her dog full of steroids to make it look this way. its called DOUBLE MUSCLE its a gene mutation that causes the muscle tissue to grow twice as much as it would normally.
this dog has steroids
this breed should not look like that . what ever your shooting up in to this dog is really slowing it life down .no one should be proud !!!! animal liberation !!!!!!gray hound are strong but slim if there raced . not like this . stop giving this dog drugs !!!!
This did is NOT on steroids just to let you know. Wendy is a Rare breed of whippets. Get it Straight, think twice, look it up, talk to people before you post comments like this!
D:|
1: that is a WHIPPIT not a grayhound
2: its NOT drugs its a genetic disorder
3: READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE BEFORE YOU POST D:|
*Whippet get it right sis
omg!! that s crzy! i thought mi dog was big!
This dog is so awesome i have two whippets of my own and they are much smaller than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does this dog have a less life ecxpectancy than other dogs? Does she live a normal life?
This dog has a genetic disorder, it was not enhanced in any way, according to the owner. Dogs with genetic abnormalities should not be bred nor should any dog be bred by an inexperienced breeder. The breeding of animals with genetic mutations is risky because it promotes the continued strain of recessive alleles and can yeild unhealthy offspring. Hopefully the owner knows this and this ignorant will be ignored. – a dog enthusiast
just because this dog has a genetic mutation doesn’t mean that it was bred from at least 1 mutated parent. some things happen naturally.
dont let Mr. Vick geta hold of this dog lol
Dude that is hilarious.
If this dog really does have a genetic disorder is there anyway of sorting it i sort of believe the owner and other comments are bare wrong everyones saying stupid things. and have you had any animal cruelty agents on you if so you best have medical evidence that the dog has amedical condition.
are u guys for real,can t you just see this is a fake picture!!!!haven t ya heard of photoshop!!!!stop believing everything people tell ya!!!if i told you this dog was bred with an alien would ya believe me!!!lol
This is not Photoshoped…DER! Wendy the Whippet was on Most Outragious. She is a healthy dog.

That dog blows my mind every time I look at it. It is insainly big.I’d be scared to get close to her
My dog is stronger then your dog
Aaron how is yor dog bigger? do u meen fatter? I bet so just like u!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have two 1year old bullie whippets who suffer very badly from muscle cramps. can anyone please help me with advice on how to relieve this as it is very distressing for them and myself.
that dog aint normal something wrong with he ayo crazy, he look like a rat mix with a dog
oh come on all these people who are saying “oh, i want what that dogs had!” well u stoopid idiots, its got an illness that he didnt want and cant ge trid of for christs sake, would u want that? its disgusting poor dog, how do u think he feels?
how do you know what the dog is feeling? maybe he likes this disorder. you never kno. So stop f****** speaking for this dog as you dont know what he’s thinking
she’s a girl 🙂
i knew aliens exist
Hi my name is travis and people are saying some dumb shit. I am a APBT fan i have one and she is the sweetest thing ever and i been trying to get my dog big but not that big lol. I think she is beautiful, No one could mistake her for a pit.
I think you should train her in weight pulls she could pul 4,000lbs easy. My brother’s pit is no where nere that big and pulled 3,200lbs its fun and the dogs love it, if you can get her to pull weights im srry if i sound disrespectfull to in any way posible.
Think you for your time.
wow thats amazing haha i would love to see that dog run and jump they should make a video of her just playing. man i wish i could look as good as that dog haha im pursuing bodybuilding and that dog is an inspiration haha
who ever wrote that comment close to the top is an idiot or a genius lmao . man ppl make me laff. I guess you can start controlling disorders now . man im still laughing.ok ok got tears. hahaha stomach hurts hahahah ohhhhh snaps!!!
r u selling that dog to use for a stud
jeez people the dog had a GENETIC DISORDER that makes her muscles grow…
READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE YOU COMMENT
jeez
as long as her owner ensures she hejoys her life then all is well. the OWNER didnt cause this……a RANDOM GENETIC DNA MUTATION DID
cripes
if his muscles grow so big. then what about the heart? wouldn’t it restrict blood flow if it got too big?
Poor dog.That must put a serious strain on her heart and lungs.To breed from this dog would be disgusting and inflicting this disorder on future generations would be completely irresponsible and cruel.Whippets are delicately muscled not musclebound,this is a disorder not a characteristic.If you people want a muscular dog,choose a breed thats meant to be that way,don`t make a victim of a genetic fluke.
Hi i think shes great i breed whippets in South Africa and i just love them!im just wondering what the life expectancy is for dog with the dissorder?
Wow haha when I saw the dog I just cracked up laughing. That is one giant dog! I wouldn’t want a dog like that though cause I’m afraid it might hurt me or something lol. But that guy up at the top, wow you’re not the sharpest tools in the toolbox are we?
I like men
I really Like Men on me
you guys are fucking idiots
this dog has no problems with its heart or lungs..if it was built like that natrually i could see that happening but it wasnt
if an animal is born like that nothing will be wrong with it
Some people are jus stupid,it’s not “sick” dont you read they did nothing to this dog to make it look like that its a muscle disorder, the dog is perfectly fine. by the way nice she has her own style lol.
that dog is raw man!!!
probly fast as anything
[…] Dog Breeds- ‘the list’ I’m afraid of whippets…..should have been on the "bad" dog list. I’m also worried about the size of the dogs […]

What a beautiful animal.
oh my god if that dog comes after me idk wht 2 do.. but she is a very god looking dog and i would want to have a dog like that… =) but if the dog turns on me i will die..=( who ever said that was a sicklooking u r a freak.. and that dog is not a sick looking dog it is just more muscular than u will ever be……….BAM……=(

rupert freestone is a fuckin retard how r u goin 2 say thats dog abuse its a fukin disorder dum shit
ok no not rupert freestone it was the guy that wrote his name as anomynos
I don’t know what is more outstanding – the appearance of the dog, or the sublime ignorance and illiteracy of those who have bothered to post. If you are willing to take the time to submit a comment, then please please please make the effort to read the very briefest of articles.
E.g. “what type of dog is she?” The article is called Wendy the Whippet FFS! Or alternatively the accusations of dog abuse that are levelled against the owners, it is a generic disorder you morons!
I’ve heard about dog in-breeding, but perhaps we should be more concerned with in-breeding within the human population. Seems to be an awful lot of dribbling retards out there…. Just a thought.
Well said Matt! I just can’t believe how stupid so many of the people making comments on here are showing themselves to be. I have very little hope for the world when so many random people commenting on a post about a genetic disorder in a dog, show themselves to be about as smart as the vegetables on their dinner plate! What said thing our species has become in such a few short decades! We need a plague or something to get rid of these fucking moronic subhumans!
your a fag and so is your faggy dog
I could see you 69ing this guy above^.
do u get off on ur dog or what
ill pee on ur gay dog ur b.a.n
bitch ass nigga
THAT DOG IS NOT THAT STRONG U SHOULD SEE MINE IT WOULD KICK UR DOGS ASS
my dog would eat that for lunch
that gross! you nasty why would you do that to an innocent dog why don’t you kill your self cuz that’s fucking sad putting dogs on steroids. It’s obvious you did that! Go to hell!
Just a brief comment–this is a known gene mutation, and there are a couple of cattle breeds in which double-muscling is selected for–obviously, it yields more beef! One such breed is the Belgian Blue.
The main issue with this mutation is birth, when offspring can be too hefty for the mother’s birth canal, so have to be delivered by caesarian. I would also imagine that the whippet is a breed not well suited for this mutation–those slender bones have a lot of weight to support, there.
Wendy is not on steroids, and she gets a normal amount of exercise–the hefty muscles are purely the result of the mutation, and living a normal life. As long as she doesn’t put too much strain on her bones and break something, she should be just fine. I imagine the extra strength helps to compensate for some of the joint strain as well. She probably eats twice as much as a normal whippet!
how much would it cost to buy it from you ill offer 1 grand for it its huge as hell
THATS FKN SIK I WANT THAT HOW MUCH GH DO GIVE IT I WANNA DO THE SAME TO MY ROTWEILER .. U REKON SUS250 AND A BIT OF DECA WILL BE GOOD?
haha she looks like master splinter on steroids, no im just kidding she really is a magnificent creature, I wouldnt want to get on her bad side!!
how much does it weight..
how does she even keep on growing and how does she keep her muscular form?
Wow.. that shit is lika chimera from FMA, or that movie Rottweiler..
Cujo aint got shit on this dogg..
fuc u fuc u u a a abusing mofo a better cum down there and kick ur jay z ass mofo u wanna talk to me hahha u distgust me u roid freaks ur distugusting person grow a pair of balls and than try a dick
wat up niggar
dam bitch
I think your dog is Great It has more musles than me. I know your dog is Healthy KEEP IT UP.
I bet that dog could poop a bulls eye at on a dart board at 50 feet.
anyone who would confuse that dog with a pit bull is an idiot. It looks nothing like a pit bull. Pit bulls never get that muscular, and the head shape is completely wrong.
As a pit bull fan, I’m offended that you would try to put this on a such a beautiful breed too.
your crazy that dog could bench press 350
cute kitty 🙂
I just hope the dog is comfortable and lives a happy and healthy life. It would be a shame if all this popularity and publicity only led to her suffering. Humans have a way of doing that to other animals.
i wish i had that diases
Wendy has a defective Myostatin gene, the gene that weakens muscle tissue. I don’t know why the body needs this, but this is what a dog looks like if she went to the gym every day for a year. She’s the Arnold of dogs and as far as I know there is nothing wrong with her health or her life span.
The style of writing is quite familiar . Did you write guest posts for other bloggers?
If that is real i think Wendy the whippet looks great
i would just like to educate all dog lovers like my self that may think that this case is abuse…. this dog does have a very lagitimate and rare but nature disorder that has happened in othere animals aswell…. look up cows for a simple answer and there are super cows that have the same disorder that are actually breed for this very reason and even though you might not agree with it it has been provin to be healthy. in saying that i thing this could be a really interesting breeding dog for many dog lovers just dont get it outta control keep a good health record for both dogs and owners so that if the dog is bred and its offspring has he same conditions it’s monitored and regulated to be safe and healthy for dogs and humans alike! and as a last note please if you think that APBT(pitbulls)are a violent or a bad breed please educate yourself! this is a very very good breed and has a long track record for being very faithful loving dogs! and it’s not the dogs fault that uneducated humans miss train dogs smarter than themselves. im not being rude but if your not educated then your lacking the knowladge to properly train yourself let a lone a dog of any breed…. thanks for reading! 😉
look this is all ridicioulous…yes this talk may have took drugs or maybe hes just built…either way no1 truely knows so just let it go… dont fught over something krazzi like this i have a reason to fight and get mad… my dog was abused but i saved her and i had to go through alot to get my dog and alot the 2nd time… the old owner was charged but thats not enough for me he was practicing taxidermy on the dogs (while they were alive) “only the smart will get it”… but she is doing better…she is sweet and loving pitt-bull that i think the world of.. she is very well trained but she dosent like other animals so well…but she gets along with the boys lol msg me if u have questions!!!…
thats strait up cold idc who u r it is drugs r good for humans not my pit bulls so ninja get a life and go to hell
THIS IS SICK U BUNCH OF FUCKING ANIMAL ABUSERS!!!!
U KIND OF PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!!!!!!!! THAT KIND OF DOGS ARE MENT TO BE SLIM AND AGILE NAE LIKE A FUCKIN 30 YR OLD MAN WHO HAS SPENT EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE AT THE GYM PAL!!!!!!!!! GRR U MAKE ME SOO ANGRY U FREAKS MIIN…AND ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO THINK ITS KOOL UR JUST AS BAD AND MAYBIE WORSE MIIN!!!!! FREAKS !!!!!!!
Ok, wow basically more than 50% of you are stupid and illiterate. The article says that it is a genetic disorder, not animals abuse. It would be horrible if a person out there was sick enough to give there dogs steroids and other bad human drugs. But in this case READ! Even with the disorder the dog is cuter then any person could be. And I am sure that this dog got quite a bit of media attention and test were probably run too to see if the dog was given any drugs and what disorder this was, and if it was given drugs she would have been rescued from the owner and since she wasn’t it is OBVIOUSLY a genetic disorder. Now stop being complete idiots, and for those who think it would be cool to give steroids or anything to your dog or any animals you are sick assholes.
VERY COOL!
Yes, I agree with the last poster. Too many stupid and illiterate (not to mention lazy because they refuse to read) peeps roaming the internet. They’re even jealous of the dog’s god given muscle because they don’t have any themselves! Pathetic!
hey ya this aint abuse nor steriods i think people need to READ the article B4 posting this dog is just as comfertable and exersized as any normal dog. stop excersizing poor judgment and read. This dog has no pity for itself nor should it> This dog is wiked
LEARN TO READ SOB’s that said this dogs on roids that illiterate and RETARTED
r u sur that dog aint on stteroids
i love the way this dog looks but one question if this is a disorder witch i do belive it is does she ever get in any pain or something like that i’m only 15 and i love dogs i want to be a k-9 officer my e-mail address 4 myspace is jessica.gonzalez91@yahoo.com please write back to me i really want 2 know
why don’t u post a video of the dog then it won’t be as fake looking.
Just to put it out there, there’s been some research done into this gene mutation on humans (or research done to hopefully be used to help humans). scientists are trying to come up with a way to control the gene to help people with muscular dystrophy and such things. Nature does strange things sometimes. I wish people would read first and maybe type myostatin gene into google or something. Maybe the dog is uncomfortable due to the gene mutation, maybe it’s perfectly happy. Shiny coat and clear eyes are a pretty good indication it’s as healthy as possible though. Strange looking animal, kind of reminds me of a werewolf. I like it. =)
just ,It isnt …….real
daym how many roids did they feed that dog?!?!?!?!?!?!
HOLY FUKIN SHIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg no tht is so cruel to call it a freak it is just a dog you r a bastard!!!!! f*** u!!!!
yu people are nothin but animal abusers.a dog isn’t supposed to look like this.
Well that sure is an ugly dog, though
wow, wtf, is a strong dog, is a best…
it dog, can kill in 10 sec,
This reminded me that I gotta take my pet to the vet lol
Wendy does NOT work for the Russians or does she live in Europe. She lives on a farm on Vancouver Island. She is an absolute sweety !!!!
is it on steroids or summet its huge lol and look at its eyes u wudnt mess with tht dog would u id be shitting myself if i so it of its lead in a park or summetlol xx
this is sick and discusting i bet it isnt a mutation jus sum siko shuvin steroids down the poor things kneck since it was a pup i hav ge a whippet of my own she is no where near as big as this and i wouldnt want her to be people that do that sort of things to dogs are vile
ino it cant be good for the dog i agree with that but u hav to admit it, the dog should be used to it and at the end of the day the rcpca hasnt got involved yet so it cant be such a crime now can it its not as if people are using the dog to fight or ewt is it its just abit big lol xx
I actually read once in an article somewhere. Some science magazine. Anyway, getting to the point, some woman is trying to figure out how to engineer people and humans like this through DNA.
I can’t believe all of the people on here who are saying they want a dog like Wendy. She has a genetic disorder and she is going to die because of it. Asking for another dog to get this would be like asking for the next 200 children in the world to get down syndrome or cancer or something. I can’t believe that you guys are just asking for more dogs that will suffer for their entire lives, which are shortened to only a few years. All of you who are saying that you want a dog like this are SICK!
wow is so sad!!! i want a dog like that because i can treat it good!! some people just want the dog to show off and be famous, but don’t care if i have the coolest or ugliest dog in the world i would still love it not because its famous but because i love it and i’ll treat it like any other normal dog!!!!!
this poor dog only gets looked at for her disibilities. you really dont know if she has pains from her muscles.
Everyone just stop leave this dog alone ok god
really it is a big deal this person who owns this dog put it on sreroids jeez this dog should be mad at the owner NOT US
I think this dog gets mad at all the pointing fingers and the talking about. i know i would i mean its not like she can help it. wow she has big muscles its not like it really matters. she could be hurting. 😦
fat boy
oh wow!!! that dog is big but if he was a boy he’d be so fit. my cousin is tryin to work out to get abz and dat i say he should just take steroides! cuz tahts what they r givin him rite. sum guyz go dat its genetic disorder but u dont no dat!
anywayz tell me if puppie pitbulls r cute cuz im lookin 2 by 1>>>>>>> thanx 4 da pic!!!!
oh rite it says in da article. im such and idiot yh anywayz im only 10 so beat it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re also retarded.
hey i think that you put that dog on steriroids and even if you didnt your probably beating it to exersize it!!!!!!!!
je trouve sa bizare
Did you even read the article? You’re an idiot.
All I can say is shame shame to the people that created this mutant double muscled dog. Of course he should be loved and cared for like any other pet but MY GOD, how can people do this to animals. I really feel for him and almost wish he were mine – then I would know he would never be exploited, etc. And to some of those who commented on this story – shame on you as well- most of you are just idiots.
Are you some sort of retard? ITS A GENE MUTATION, this wasn’t done on purpose, read the fucking article before you comment. twat
awesome muscle dog man
Can anybody help me? I’m urgently looking for a whippet pup. I’m living in South Africa.Thnx
I am doing a research for a project about dogs, and I found your blog very interesting. Thanks for the info
tough looking dog
Wtf lmao, I love how slow some people are as was mentioned before:
a. NO ROIDS
b. Genetic Mutation – NOT CAUSED BY THE OWNER OR ANYONE ELSE…. READ THE ARTICLE U IGNORANT SHMUCKS
peace.
*fn mad dog too, looks like a machine, I want a girlfriend like that so she can smack me about when i misbehave

You should be ashamed of yourelf. Don`t put comments up like that, it isn`t nice. 😦
Myostatin gene, no wonder that got popular for a while.
O.o … Okay , initially I expected comments that wouldn’t variate from anything else than the discussion of the mutation. Don’t get me me wrong though, I did expect some terminology like “Awesome, raD, Sick etc.” . But the deviants I expected weren’t even close, it’s perceivable to me only as a thread of idiocy and utter lack of information… In layman’s terms : OMFG what a bunch of f*cking idiots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is where I’m going to give a brief explanation(Not that a lot of you’ll understand or at least give the required perception to what I’m writing to try and accumulate a better understanding of the dog’s “Disorder” which can also be called a genetic deviation…) of the difference between steroids and a f*cking rare genetic deviation(Mutation, for you morons). Steroids is a drug that helps accumulate more muscle mass, it’s a simple drug that allocates a shit load of protein to your muscles thus helping them build at an alarming rate.(Layman’s terms : Makes you look like a guerrilla faster.) The dog named Whitney suffers(Not painful suffering, the terminology used here is for indicating that the dog has this mutation) from an extremely rare mutation where instead of growing normal sized muscles for a dog of her species she grew twice that amount. This isn’t due to any form of drugs or anything like that, it happens when the mutation of the myostatin gene(which should stop excessive muscle growth) renders it useless, resulting in a hell of a lot more muscle because the myostatin ne’er said stop growing… So i.o.w. no abuse, no drugs and also genetic disorders or mutations(Not always the same meaning, be weary) isn’t always a bad thing, in this context it would be called a beneficial mutation(though it has it’s negatives.).
So is a “whippet” a real thing? Or a disease? Does the dog every have mucle pains ? If she was aggressive would you be dead? So how old is she like ummm 20-30 or something like that? If you were to breed her then whoyld her puppies have the mucles when they grow up too.
I watched a program about Wendy. She can`t run as fast as other whippets but she is still very fast. I think she looks lovely but I would not want a whippet with the same problem as her because her muscles are so big that it would be hard to control her. 🙂
