First of all we did not sell her the dog! We have a email from her indicating the dog died from bloat not a Genetic disorder. Please do research on this breed and get past they look so cute and adorable for a minute.

If you do not know how to take care of these dogs then they will die like Cynthia's.
She most likely killed the dog! Possible causes of Bloat!

Vets aren't sure what causes bloat, but there are some things that raise a dog's risk for it, including:

1. Eating from a raised food bowl
2. Having one large meal a day
3. Eating quickly
4. A lot of running or playing after he eats
5. Other dogs he's related to have had bloat
6. Eating or drinking too much
Bloat happens when a dog's stomach fills with gas, food, or fluid, making it expand. The stomach puts pressure on other organs. It can cause dangerous problems, including:

No blood flow to his heart and stomach lining
A tear in the wall of his stomach
A harder time breathing

In some cases, the dog's stomach will rotate or twist, a condition that vets call gastric dilatation volvulus. It traps blood in the stomach and blocks it from returning to the heart and other areas of the body. This can send your dog into shock.

Symptoms

Bloat usually comes on very quickly. At first, your dog may show signs that his stomach hurts. He may:

Act restless
Drool
Have a swollen stomach
Look anxious
Look at his stomach
Pace
Try to vomit, but nothing comes up
As the condition gets worse, he may:

Collapse
Have pale gums
Have a rapid heartbeat
Be short of breath
Feel weak
If you think your pet has bloat, get him to a clinic right away. If dogs don't get treatment in time, the condition can kill them...
