In hindsight, I also now see that Adam was linked to many, many other 
bloat/torsion victims by his breeding also.

I believe you can produce bloat with poor husbandry, but with my bitch's 
bloat I now FIRMLY BELIEVE in a genetic predisposition from some bloodlines.

Betty,

That is the key to bloat/torsion.  If it is in the lines, you may not be able 
to prevent it.  However, using probiotics, elevating food bowls, reducing 
stress and limiting exercise after and before eating can certainly help.  It's 
not a guarantee if it is genetic but sure can't hurt.  JMHO
