I made a choice to get my dog because I needed them at the moment and they mean the world to me and I will exhaust every option that I can before giving them away.
As I said before I have read a lot of stuff about it and I have talked to a few vets who say that the only thing that upsets people is the way that it sounds. It doesn't hurt the dog in any way, it simply disturbs our view of what a dog should sound like.
I have tried the pennies and I have tried spray bottle and nothing works. It just makes him afraid of me and that breaks my heart more than hearing him squeak would. I just asked for personal experiences about debarking.
I don't care if I am a college student or a homeless person. I made the decision to have my dogs and I made a commitment to be their owner for the rest of their life. As long as they are not being harmed then I will do anything in my power to see to it that they stay with me. As I said before I am trying to work out other options, but that you so much for the input. |
I am not here to agree or disagree. I love to read other people's posts and views.. but when some get down right rude.. and always the same negativity towards some one that does not agree with their views.. should learn some things you cannot change.leave the anger and sarcasim before coming to check out the fourms..
As some have pointed out.. s/n is no easier on a dog.. and yes it is done to save the pet population... or is it done for the lazy at heart..could go either way.. some people use altenative medicine for flea issues others use medcation from vets.. again some agree some disagree..I also can list more.. but other things have been already..there are too many to mention..
I met a breeder once who had some of her dogs debarked.. instead of insulting her I actually sat and listened to it all... She has one vet only she will go to.. the vet keeps the dog sadated for days.. to heal so the throat does not get used and the bark ends up to be a scratching annoying bark that some of you talk about. she says her vet believes that is the key to how it turns out... no damage is done after sugery doing it this way...
Many people have views.. and that is great.. but again some people need to realize that they can post with out the sarcasim and digs.. It happens a lot.. in fact on many more posts then not.. some may want to look back at there remarks and wonder if other aspects of their life could be attacked so badly all the time.. how would they feel.
I absolutly know I am by far not the only one who feels this way.. when a good respected breeder can come on here and post with out insults but can reason why.. maybe one should follow her footsteps instead of the angry ones..
Just remember.. how do some of you know this dog would be better off without the op.. and what to heck is this..
you cannot sneak a dog in all the time.. breaking the rules... if one person that has posted on here has never broken rules and could honestly say they would never sneak their beloved yorkie in to where ever, if ever put in the same position.. ask yourself how you would feel being jumped on..
Cause you love your dog.. made the commintment.. and others lighly say well you should not keep the dog but give it up..
they are wrong..
Ya know some of you need to learn kindness... if your so upset all the time.. try avoiding some posts..
Again I could make a thread on just that.(people with the most know it all attitude all the time ) not saying some people do have lots of good points..but ya think it might go to some heads...
If people really wanted to be honest.. say using a different name.. I bet they would and could agree with me..and you know who you are.. and please do not carry this on to get the last word in ... you know who you are and we will leave it at that..I would not say this.. if I thought for one minute I am the only one that feels this way..
Your not a breeder and when good ethical breeders get tired of this attitude at times.. maybe you should find some good happy posts to posts on and you might even enjoy being on yt...
Sorry for the rant.. but man.. some people make a worse situation then the one making the thread asking for opinions.. some are no opinions.. it is like my way or the hwy attitude cause I know more...
Can some not do unto others as they would have them due onto them..
What is a bullie... school kids go through this.. this is just some words for though only...

Please be nice to this girl.. for heavens sake.. one day what goes around.. comes around..
