I cannot believe that people who geniunely love their dog would put their dogs through that surgery simply to pacify the neighbors without defending their dogs. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Totally beg to differ on this one as I have known several people in that same situation. One gal now routinely debarks all her dogs over the age of 8 mos. because AC came once with a barking dog complaint, many years ago. And yes, because she had "numbers" of dogs(no more then 8 at a given time) and lived in town, the compliants thereafter were always directed at her first. Proactive, she debarks and can have AC come out with the noise meter and confirm it's not her dogs.
