 Makes me wonder how trust worthy a site!!
I suppose you can take this site (online Pedigrees) with a grain of salt? Sad that this gets past some. Maybe somone here with a subscription could notify the site.

Horrible is what it is. What a shame there are some very good dogs on that ped. Glad they included a pic to help not confuse some. That is a very well (Paper) hung dog.

Yes it is a whippet that has a genetic mutation, i cant remember what it is referred to as but I will look it up.
Here is a link to some info on that dog. http://www.canada.com/victoriatimesc...6-1b982456e793 |

That dog is Wendy, a whippet. She has the same genetic mutation that a breed of cattle has.. that doubles their muscle growth.
The person probably just didn't want to post a picture of their dog, and posted hers instead. |

The Whippet has a Myostatin disorder, which cause her muscles to grow very large. She was on animal planet on dogs 101 one night and she functions just like a normal dog, but her owner says she tires very easily.

There are plenty of joke peds on that peds online. Nothing new. Too bad that there are some that big ones that are incorrect, such as Maverick's ped.

My favorite was the pedigree with the picture of a dog taking a leak on Laura Maloney's grave. Can't find it though.

No shit. How long of a life span would this dog have? If I recall correctly, her owner said she was going to have her PTS once they found the disorder because the likelyhood of her living a happy life was grim. But she now acts like a normal everyday dog, she just gets alot of negative attention due to her size. On the show she was on she was running around playing in a field with a normal size whippet, who was alot smaller than her and she was no doubt submissive to the smaller dog. I believe she ways like 50 or 55 pounds |

I would have guessed she was heavier than that. If she can live happy let her live.
