De Barking is a terrible thing to do to a dog. I have been involved in Dog Shows from the obedience side for 25 years and I have never heard of anyone debarking their dogs. In the last 4 years I have been getting more interested and involved in the breed side of Dog Shows too and have met many wonderful people who love their dogs. I have NEVER come across any dog who is debarked! And if I ever do, I will tell them exactly what I think of them doing that to their dog.

I understand that it is something people do, but I think it is animal abuse!
