Do not debark your dog. Damn pity leh. My family just adopted a debarked dog. So pity her, cannot bark. Our other 4 dogs thought she was an alien coz she got no sound. She couldn't tell us she wanna go pee, she couldn't tell us she is hungry, she couldn't even tell us when she is playful. She can bark a very coughing kinda sound, which is so pityful.

You may think it's the right choice to do because you are thinking of keeping your dog. But you put yourself in a dog's point of view. If someone comes and cut's your vocal cords, you can't talk. But then as humans, you can write, learn sign language. Can a dog do that? My new dog cannot communicate with our other dogs. It's sad to see a voiceless dog.
