  As I said I do not use raised dishes, I hold kit's dish with my feet so it 
does not slide around the room.  Kit is genically at great risk of bloat.  So 
far so good.  He does have digestion issues, but with the help of my vet we may 
have found the answer.  He will never eat without acidophilous again.  And he 
is slowly getting the idea that eating won't hurt anymore.
   
  I am sure he is still at risk for bloat and will always be so.  He has a very 
deep chest that is getting wider with maturity.  So the ligaments involved are 
streched to begin with, he has relatives that are dead from bloat.  I am 
breeding his sister to a 9 year old dog, in part because he has not bloated 
depsite having a big body type.  He is also as outcrossed as I can hope to find.
   
  I will be adivsing my pet owners about bloat and giving them what I hope will 
be feeding instructions that will allow for a long and happy life for all of 
Liddy's get.
   
  Those of her pups that go to show homes will also be adived of her pedigree 
and what has been working with the dogs I have.
   
  My biggest concern, outside of my own dogs, is that her lines were crossed 
with my pet's lines and there is bloat there too.  I hope that the dogs out of 
this breeding do not bloat, but I worry.  However, it is up to the breeders 
involved to worry about the most.  And all the information is there, so they 
should know what they are producing.

If you feed processed dog food and canned food, what logical thought process 
leads one to believe that the elevation of food dishes will prevent the 
fermentation in the stomach?
