Ziggy is a rough coated brindle Lurcher dog and is 27 and a half inches tall.
Note the elasticity that allows his shoulders freedom to spread his front legs wide apart at the points of shoulders - the joint between the bottom of the shoulder blade and the top of the upper arm (which continues down to the elbow - at the top of the forearm).
This is the result of elasticated pectoral muscles under the forearm giving the leg freedom of movement (not boundup).

 David Bowie : Ziggy Stardust - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart quickly, yet Bowie's fractured, paranoid lyrics are evocative of a decadent, decaying future, and the music echoes an apocalyptic, nuclear dread.
Fleshing out the off-kilter metallic mix with fatter guitars, genuine pop songs, string sections, keyboards, and a cinematic flourish, Ziggy Stardust is a glitzy array of riffs, hooks, melodrama, and style and the logical culmination of glam.
Bowie succeeds not in spite of his pretensions but because of them, and Ziggy Stardust -- familiar in structure, but alien in performance -- is the first time his vision and execution met in such a grand, sweeping fashion.
