I agree with Deanna that bloat is more often associated with larger breeds, but I wouldn't doubt that it is a concern with all. Articles I have read indicated not to let dogs guzzle water quickly after strenuous activity. That might be related to bloat, or even hypernatremia (water intoxication as discussed in another thread). Strenuous activity affects electrolyte balance, so that would make sense to me.
