I don't think the OP said that the puppys were de-barked (or did I miss something??)
I own 2 de-barked dogs, I DID NOT HAVE IT DONE... NOR WOULD I!!!! They both bark, quietly, but are learning not to, bark, if I ask then to stop. They are not so quiet, that I could sleep through it, but quiet enough I can ignore it, if necessary.
I think the reason some breeders de-bark (the reason these 2 were done) is when one dog barks... they all start, whether there is a good reason or not.
So Donna, you aren't alone... |
First of all Thank you
While I do NOT de-bark I do know some that do only because of the housing situtation and NO they don't live in cages they have run of the house. These are done while they are having a dental and do NOT feel any pain...and yes I believe docking is more painful than the vocal cords especially if it's done when they are under for the dental no pain.
But Thank you for your kindness
Donna
