nullmouse Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 It's a myostatin deficient doggie, naturally occurring but probably selectively bred. Apparently heterozygous greyhounds with one mutated allele are much better runners than the normal homozygotes. The one pictured is a homozygote 'mutant', presumably shit at running but once the fucker's up to speed nothing is going to stand in it's way.It's also the same mutation that makes the Belgium Blue cattle so damn beefy, again through selective breeding. Heard they taste kinda crap, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Oh WOW Wendy looks just like my whippet Poppy. I didnt think there could be two dogs so alike. Poppy is nearly 9 years old and is also double muscled. This sometimes gives her cramping problems but with some tender loving care she soon bounces back. She is a very happy dog and although she has all those muscles..she is really very lazy..likes nothing more than to snuggle up next to you and sleep. I am sure Wendy is just as happy as Poppy is and I am sure she is just as much loved..although that will take some beating! Have fun Wendy and you show em all just how gorgeous you are.- Sally Vickers, Newark NottinghamshireThanks for that Sally.- Shaki, Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullmouse Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 How about this one:Samson: The 19st dog who's head and shoulders above the rest | the Daily MailStrangely enough, it's reckoned that differences in one gene (IGF1) can determine dog size. Small, yappy-type dogs have what's called a 'single nucleotide polymorphism', or SNP, in their IGF1 gene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreskin Ninja Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Don't have time to search for the original article with a bunch of pics on it but there's a story about a kid born recently with this mutation. IOL: Say hello to the baby who can beat you up... This is about the kid but it has less information than the one I read before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
