<< I had recently been told to be watchful of 'stomach twisting' that occurs 
 frequently in large breeds.  Perhaps you have a problem with this?  I am not 
 sure of the resolution as I've not had to deal with the problem but when I 
 asked my vet about it she suggested small meals, small bits of water more 
 frequently.  
 
 Hope this helps... I hadn't seen any input suggesting it so I thought it 
 might be another consideration

Small meals, yes, but I don't think it is wise to limit your dog's water 
intake....monitor it, yes, limit it, no. Not unless there is a history of 
medical necessity for doing so. Ted
