Four-legged friends are for the breeder not only true friends, but also brave defenders. Many dog breeders dream of a pet with a formidable appearance and with developed muscles. In nature, there are breeds with a strong, strong body, and Big Wendy is recognized as the most inflated dog in the world. The pet, which has an unusual appearance, belongs to the breed of whippet.
Description
The history of the origin of the English greyhound goes back centuries. An elegant muscular dog was bred for hunting small-sized game. Smooth-haired dogs differed in endurance and developed a high speed in a short period of time. Representatives of the Whippet breed are known for their thinness due to the lack of subcutaneous fat. A muscular body, strong long limbs and a shiny short coat are the hallmarks of the variety. The dog has a complaisant disposition and is easy to train.
The most muscular dog in the world
An animal with the appearance of a terminator nicknamed Big Wendy differs from its neighbors in a huge amount of muscle. The genetic mutation is to blame. Studies have shown that the head, legs, and internal organs of a dog comply with the breed standard, and muscle mass is twice the norm. The weight of the bodybuilder pet is about 30 kg.
The body of Big Wendy is “decorated” with large bulging muscles on the neck, shoulders and legs. Instead of 6 cubes, the animal has a press with 24 cubes. Experts say that an unusual dog with defective genes will not live a long life, unlike other representatives of the Whippet breed.
The giant muscle mass of the dog is associated with a mutation in the gene responsible for the generation of myostatin (a protein that limits muscle growth). In the absence of this "ban" in animals or humans, a huge mass of muscles grows, which does not require physical activity.
Specialists who breed hounds specifically look for animals with a similar defect. Muscular dogs of large and small sizes are called "bulls." They are strong and instantly develop high speed. Otherwise, "bodybuilders" are not much different from their counterparts. As for the four-legged Schwarzenegger, the dog has not one, but two defective myostatin genes. Eventually Big Wendy broke all the known records and is the subject of study by highly professional geneticists.
Despite the formidable appearance, the most pumped up dog in the world has a complaisant disposition and a playful character. The pet loves to run through the fields for other dogs and does not show aggression to strangers. Also, the four-legged “terminator” is very affectionate and loves to lie for hours on his mistress’s lap.
