No but I've heard of a Double Muscled Whippet.
It's a genetic defect.

It is a nickname for an uncommon genetic mutation where a whippet makes a tremendous amount of muscle mass.
It is not a cross of breeds - this is a mutation within purebred whippets.Ever heard of a dog called a bully whippet?
A 2007 study[6] identified a myostatin mutation particular to whippets that is significantly associated with their athletic performance. Whippets with a single copy of this mutation are generally very fast; those with two copies have disproportionately large musculature and are known as "bully whippets" although their temperament is not affected by this.
No I never have but I looked it up and to my surprise they exist and I saw one called Wendy and really she doesn't look like a wendy believe me she looks like the incredible hulk dog,mixed with a whippet.Its very unnatural.I feel sorry for it.But who knows she might do just fine.Thanks for the question bye bye.Ever heard of a dog called a bully whippet?
yes as a whippet fancier I've seen and patted on the head several double muscled whippets - I will warn you the most commonly pictured dog, Wendy, is probably the most extreme muscled bully in north America most are not so heavly muscled. it was a group of breeders that got the initial studies started to find why there were these funny looking dogs. Now we have a DNA test for the trait and there may never be another bully born again...
PS they werenever produced on purpose
