Muscular dog




 I think many who saw this picture, were convinced that it was done in Photoshop. But it is not so! This dog named Big Wendy (Big Wendy) whose appearance is far from long, thin members of its breed hounds.







"People called it Arnold Schwarzenegger," - says Ingrid.
"She is healthy and happy. And the main thing. "
"She knows that she has a genetic aberration. All she can do wrong - just disgusting to lick you all! "

It spends his days loitering in the fields, chasing other dogs and horses, and often sleeps on the bed her mistress. Wendy's unofficially considered the most muscular dog in the world. And the reason it does not have intensive training in the local section of the fitness room, and do not abuse steroids. Overweight dog got a birthday - thanks to a mutation in the gene responsible for the generation of myostatin. Myostatin - a protein that limits muscle growth. When a defect, this restriction is removed and the animal gets increased muscle mass, without spending any effort. It's a shame, huh? People involved in breeding hounds, trying to get or find an instance with a defect in the gene for myostatin. Canes with a mutation called "bulls" . They are quicker and stronger, but in appearance little different from normal dogs of their breed.
What is the secret to Wendy? What is the reason that in appearance it looks more like a pit bull than a beagle?

Strange but true - Wendy's has received not one, but two defective myostatin gene. In the end, her muscle mass has broken all records. Even on the neck muscles in "hell hound" so thick that from the side they can be mistaken for a mane like a lion.
