oh.... and I hope that I did not offend anyone who has debarked their dog.... I know some people have had to due to living arrangements and what not.... Its really not that bad... I hear its not painful and so on... I was not passing judgement... I just thought it was a bit soon to jump to such drastic and final measures!!!
And as far as the showing thing.... I don't think you should alter show dogs... If you can't train it for the ring, it does not belong in it.... JMO
