I really could care less one way or another about the procedure, mainly because it doesn't involve me and it's just not one of those things that I choose to devote time to concerning myself over.
But, I will say that upon first hearing of the procedure, I was as shocked and appalled in a manner reflected by most of the response posts here. But I was even more shocked when I learned how many people actually have the procedure done. I don't mean millers or lazy people who don't want to train their dogs--I mean ethical, long time show breeders. MANY more here on YT than you would think that some of you so opposed to the practice sing praises to everyday...as do I. I spoke with them, heard their experience and reasoning and it made me see things differently.
Like I said before, I really don't care one way or another. I don't personally think it would be the best choice for me, but I have no reason to need it. My dogs aren't barkers for the most part and on occasion when my hound stirs up a ruckus, no one around me cares...their dogs just bark right back.
