My former sister in law used to breed and show shelties....She had her 4 dogs debarked....this has to be over 35 yrs ago...I'm sure it wasn't but, it sounded so painful for the dogs...they almost sound hoarse...IMO...I feel this should NOT be allowed....and if it's done there should be a fine...We have 3 yorkies...and yes...they all bark....we are working with them to stop barking for no reason...(not an easy task) but, would I debark them???? NEVER!
