A debarked dog can still bark, it is just not as loud , they sounds like they have lost there voice. I had a shelty that was debarked and he still let us know what he needed and his barking was still annoying but only to us our neighbors couldn't hear him.They can still be shown as they do not remove the voicebox, they cut the vocal cords. I would rather have my dog debarked then have to get rid of it. The breeder may not have too many dogs maybe the neighbors just complain alot. Being debarked is done by a vet and is not abuse, there are much worse things that could be happening to the dogs |
