my thought would be no ,I seen a study that estimated a 5% chance in any large or giant breed dog ….. that 5%number would be mainly middle aged male dogs , and I would guess the majority of them high strung , defensive , nervous dogs ……..females being a small percentage of that 5%……….. I've had 1 stomach torsion , 1 intestinal torsion in about 60 dogs , both middle aged defensive males ………. I know of only one of my pups ever having a stomach tack , I've never heard of any of my pups getting a torsion ……. the breed ddb , the one with the tacked stomach lived to 10-11yrs , it didn't bother her one way or the other …… I read some crazy stat saying 42% of great danes will have a torsion , I'm not familiar with the breed , but the number seems a bit far fetched to me ?
