Do we know of any line that is totally torsion free?  I am guessing that would 
be a very short list.

I agree Zoa but it is important for people to Share what information they  
have on this..  If they do not, we can not make good breeding decision. To  
many people hide it and then rumors start flying.  Good dogs get  shunned 
and not used because a dog from that pedigree torsioned?     Although I am 
sure there are environment factors as well it does appear with a  ton of cases 
that is not the case.  I know of to many dogs that did this at  home resting 
in there crates....  That just scares me to death. 

Thanks for sharing the info and I am just so sorry you had to go through  
this Jeannie and Penny....

A  carrier?  That would imply that there is some research-based proof I  
haven't seen that bloat/torsion are genetic.  I know that many  people 
(including myself) believe they are probably genetic, but I am  uncomfortable 
with 
words like "carrier" until and unless we have some real  proof.  Otherwise, 
it is too easy to wind up pointing fingers at  individual dogs and breeders. 
Perhaps I am behind in my reading, and a  genetic marker has been 
discovered.  If so, please send me a link to the  research.  A "carrier" has to 
carry something like a dominant or  recessive gene.  That piece seems to be 
missing.
