Then why not tack him? If you are worried, and he is predisposed both
structurally and genetically and you aren't breeding him....why not spare the
two of you?

Ok, now I hate to jinx myself, but I have an EPI dog who is 8 years old.
He is at least 28" tall, very deep chested and narrow, often gassy and,
to
be honest with you, I've always expected that he would bloat, yet to
date,
he hasn't.....even with all the predisposition factors. His pancreatic
function is almost 0 and he is on the thin side and I know he still may
bloat,
but he has lived way beyond the age that many 'healthy' dogs bloat at.
NOTHING makes sense to me because he was also inbred on a dog that did
bloat.
No, this is not a dog I would've bred, nor would I have even taken had I
not thought with my heart, instead of my brain, but I love him and
wouldn't
trade him for anything.
