| I think we have, too. I've read many of your posts but I just couldn't remember if we had actually 'spoken.' You are more than welcome! My opinion from reading your posts, and from seeing the respect you have from other members, is that you are a wonderful breeder. The whole thing is a little funny this morning , but yesterday....not so much.

| We have a Maltese who barked,barked and barked. We could NEVER enjoy a meal at the table because she barked like crazy. We tried several things recommended. Did I think for a second about debarking? I thought about and I would NEVER do it. The last thing we tried and it worked the first day. We got a bark collar. It had static zaps not strong trust me. It zapped once. After that I took the battery out. So she stopped barking when we sat down. She never wore the collar again and has never had an issue besides the normal barking when the doorbell rings, or a person comes in. I actually tried the collar myself. I wanted to see exactly what it was. Its like getting touched by someone who has static electricity. I dont know how bad the barking would actually be to debark all your dogs?? I couldnt do it and even if its under anesthesia, just the thought cutting their cords Gen |

| She doesn't sound like a reputable breeder to me. Maybe just one that's trying to make more money with her bark free babies. That's just sick.

I also believe docking is cruel and abusive. To cut the tail off an animal because AKC and other clubs have made it "standard" in the breed is a man made cruel act. A dog was born with a tail, man said remove it! I agree, I think both are uncalled for. Man made these rules not the poor dog who has to suffer threw the pain to look like man wants them too. Sad. | |

| I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but debarking the old way, the cords do grow back. I am not sure if the bark is the same or not, but I have been told the vocal cords do indeed regrow. Now the new way, burning them, I don't know if they will grow back or not..? I do agree it seems cruel, but in certain situations if all other methods have been exhausted, it might be the better of two evils. I agree with Jencar98 and livingdustmops as far as the debarking compared to worse things issue. |

Trust me there are far worse things that can be done to animals than debarking.... Donna | |
