Most engravers never took an anatomy course in their lives... and some of their dogs are good examples,

That they never had an anatomy course was very clear. I still find their art wonderful artifacts from a now gone era. The charm of their drawing, whether of anatomically incorrect humans, out-of-proportioned dogs, or flying turnips, is as period specific as any work from artisans of any period.
