THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM! If you go to all those "measures" and you don't
have a dog ( or horse ) bloat......do you know if it's because of the style of
feeding
and maintaining them.....or they just wouldn't have bloated anyway!! <G>
If they DON'T bloat....can you just assume you have a "line" that doesn't
bloat..or
If they DO bloat....do we really KNOW it's because they ate fast, drank too
much,
rolled in the pasture, is related to a dog that bloated....or.......would have
bloated
anyway.......or were destined to bloat no matter what because Granma did?? <G>
So many questions......so little time.....so little answers....
