Rescued a debarked lakeland


Recommended Posts


what a fecking awful thing to do to a dog :unsure: but then again some folk dont like docking or dew clawing but at least they have a reason and can be explained, how can you explain de-barking :angry:

 

i like my dogs to bark when some fecker is on the drive (or a cat on the shed :11: ) it gives me time to load the gun :11:

If you had a terrier/s who was kept outside and barked a lot, really hacking off your neighbours and causing tension what would you do to help the situation? (Apart from having him surgically adjusted)

 

From what I read on the internet this de-barking treatment seems to be common in USA.

Well, the Lakeland could have been kenneled and given no attention and now Hastings has her and has made her a house dog. No need to bark anymore is there. Her panting may be do to too many snacks ? Is the dog overweight ?

the dog is kept in very good shape hardly any sort of treats in this house. Not overweight at all. When I did get her I kind of put the cart in front of the horse. I knew about the breed but had never seen a dog go to ground but thought at the time that if she showed an interest in it well then all the better. She is a great a great little dog ( pulled her first ground hog last week, we caught sight of it about 15 yards from its hole and I let her off the lead and she got hold of it just after it had entered the hole) And just so people know she is not a total mute, there is teeny little bark that comes out of her .

Hastings you say that it does your head in .. in the car?? does it only happen in the car? because i have found dogs that are going to be sick through travel sickness start to pant alot before they throw up.... just

an idea :good:

Well that is an idea but I dont think its gonna stick, yeah she pants when shes in the car but there are plenty of other times as well. I'm thinking that its directly connected to her surgery. I'm thinking shes going to have to be relegated to house pet and the search for a fully functioning dog is going to have to start here shortly.Seems to me there is so much more to choose from on your side of the atlantic. patterdale this time for sure and from a pup. Now Ive just got to find some people around here who can help me get in touch with some good dog people.

Hastings, get on an American site. There are plenty that keep terriers in America that do the job that a terrier should.

 

And a hell of a lot that don't too !! :whistle: ;):guitar:

How would he or anyone who approve's of this sick ritual like their voice taken away, how do we know it does'nt affect the dog phsycologicaly even if it's thought to be painless. I can't see the need for it under any circumstance

 

 

There is a simple process where holes are punched in the vocal cords while the dog is under anesthesia. After a week one can tell whether the bark has been " toned down" a notch. It can be repeated if the desired reduction isn't achieved. There is no need to completely take a dogs voice away. People living on top of each in cities probably shouldn't have a dog, but when they do, a constant barker can bring nothing but grief for the owner. Tuning a dog's bark down, or even debarking (which I don't think is ever necessary) are both legal operations in the U.S.
