/ˈæŋɡəlˌdɔɡ/ noun

Definition

A dog breed or dog characterized by an angular build and sharp, pointed features of the face and body.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Many dog breeds like greyhounds and whippets are prized for their angular builds because the sharp angles reduce drag and increase speed—form really does follow function!
