“Folks Claim That He Has Giraffe DNA In There Somewhere” – Gatsby, The Dog With A Very Long Neck

Every individual animal has their own unique traits. However, some are more pronounced and clear than others. Recently a video of a dog on TikTok has become viral. Why is it so special, you might ask? Well, his neck appears to be particularly long. Like, very long.

Turns out the dog that we’re speaking of is named Gatsby, who is a mix between a Borzoi, which in and of themselves look spindly, and a German shepherd, which are, in terms of dogs, relatively big, though not quite as big as Borzois. Male Borzois can grow from 75 up to 85 centimeters and can weigh from 34 to 47 kilograms. German shepherds, respectively, can stretch from 60 to 65 centimeters and weigh from 30 to 40 kilograms.

Gatsby is a mixed breed of Borzoi and a German Shepherd
