Ok, I've decided (nearly) that Max will go without being vaccinated at all. Been reading A LOT. I already don't boost Pip. Please, your thoughts?

The dogs that are most susceptible are those that have a deep ribcage for example, labs, retrievers, shepherds... you get the idea. However, ANY dog can get bloat. Remember the golden rule, never ever exercise after feeding - leave at least a minimum of 2 hours... better still, mimic your dogs natural behaviour and walk first then eat...
BLOAT The Killer
If you experience a combination of the following:
• Your dog retches from the throat but nothing is produced other than small amounts of frothy mucus
• Your dog tries to defaecate unsuccessfully
• Your dog adopts the ‘Sphinx’ position
• Your dog’s tummy goes hard and / or swells up like a balloon and is as taut as drumskin
• Trying to bite, or worry, the abdomen
• Your dog is very unsettled
CONTACT YOUR VET IMMEDIATELY.
Bloat is a true emergency - be prepared to drive to the surgery straightaway. The chance of survival decreases alarmingly if you
delay getting the dog to the surgery more than 60-90 minutes after the first signs.
So whether you’re about to catch a plane, serve a meal to your family or go to bed - DON’T. Instead take your dog to the vet.
It could save your dog’s life.

Showing signs of being as good as Amber our old Wire was. Polite, attentive and so on.
