She looks happy enough, but I imagine it can be difficult getting around sometimes with all that muscle mass... poor thing... We should see if such a defect can be repeated in the human genome - then we could just BREED weight lifters and football players, without them having to take steroids! ~Natalya

Guess that means plenty of people willing to risk producing them just to get a faster Whippet. What gets me is all the people that replied to the link about talking about how pretty or cool looking the dog is. Sorry but that pooch is butt ugly. Lisa Jerri Lee
