It seemed that the Scorpio lines were having a problem with this condition including Scorpio himself. I don't have percentage numbers for other dogs during this era. This is a very awful death for the dogs. I never want to have see one of my dogs ever experience this killer again. Best wishes, Barbara Galasso I lost a dog to this breeding, 4 years old. All of her siblings, and cousins, aunts, uncles, etc, died of bloat within a 6 month period. I bought the dog from my "mentor", who was the mentor (and dog person) from hell. Sad memories.
