My first briard has died from bloat in 1998. On that moment I didn't know anything about this illness, there was no popular information for owners of dogs in Russia. Since then I collect different articles and I translate them on Russian. All translations are published on the Russian version of my site. On this moment there are more than 30 articles and other materials (english and russian) on Russian version of this page. I would be very grateful to you if you have informed me of the address of serious articles about bloat (and about dysplasie too) which here are not present. Bloat, the authore: Wendy C.
