thank you for your input. i was shocked to hear how nonchalant the breeders were about de-barking a dog. i have a lot of respect for good breeders, but i really was not happy and shocked when i hear how easily de-barking a dog is considered, and hopefully i will get a reason as to why for them it's not considered inhumane to debark a dog.
