Wendy… The Bodybuilder Dog

When I used to see in the picture of the network dog, I thought it muscles under some brawny athlete in Photoshop. But it turned out, this is a real dog!

This dog named Big Wendy  whose appearance is far from long, thin members of its breed hounds.

She was born with genetic abnormalities, because of which looks like an incredibly huge hound.

While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the same size as a normal Whippet, a defect of its genes has led to what is called "double muscle mass" She weighs 27.2 kg – twice the state – and has huge bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon. And unlike ordinary whippets known for their flexible and thin bones, this four-year representative of the breed instead of the abdominal muscles with 6 Dice has 24 cubic press!

Unfortunately, her broken genes may lead to the fact that the duration of her life will be shorter than normal dogs. But, even though it looks threatening, adoring her owner Ingrid Hansen claims that its giant dog there is nothing better than to climb up to the hostess on her knees.


Wippet English greyhound, who lives on a farm in Victoria (Canada), is the subject of study of American geneticists. Though her breed and is designed for hunting, racing and exhibitions, Wendy prefers the unhurried flow of life.
