Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Uh no he just doesn't bark at people. "Oh well you have the best behaved dog on our walk. Everyone that walks by just loves him." We have a lot of older people who walk our neighborhood and I've heard from several that they just love Chase because he doesn't bark just whines to be petted lol but this question was a first! They also said Bella (our timid rescue) gives a very quite woof and she's well mannered too haha

Huskies are quiet.
They don't bark (most of the time).
Their howl is kind of endearing.

I've heard that too, but in my dog's case, it's true,
My Bodhi DID have his vocal cords cut before I adopted him.
This issue is one about which I am passionate.
There is NO reason to inflict this torture on a husky.
It leaves scar tissue that thickens over time.
I can affect a dog's breathing and drinking.
It breaks my heart to hear Bodhi try to vocalize and he can't do it.

Don't do it! Ever!

Is it wrong that people who use shock collars bother me too? I get so frustrated with people because barking, vocalizing and howling is so natural for all dogs, not just huskies. I strongly disagree with anti-bark collars, even if its just as simple as the spray ones. I don't feel it write to train the ability to talk out of my dog.

At least here in Michigan the majority of vets are against it.

I got one for you some people I know have the vocal cords modified in some breeds of dogs.. This does not impress me.. I have a relative that does this with her shelties.

I have never heard in my life of having a dog's vocal cords cut! That is just so appalling to me! I'd like to cut their vocal cords and see how they like it! If you don't want to hear the dog how it was intended to sound then don't get the breed!!!! ... end rant. lol Smile My Blitz is VERY quiet too. Rarely whines or talks and I've only heard him bark once in his life and never has howled. Diesel on the other hand still being a puppy barks and whines and talks like crazy. But in public he's so super well behaved, everyone compliments me on him.

Our neighbors own THREE beagles and holy crap! They don't shut up! They should know us by now, but but they go off every single time we get home!! Guess what though? I go right up to the fence and say hello to them everyday! If their owners ever cut their vocal cords we would have a major problem!

We got Chase when he was 3 months old and I've heard him bark one time. He "talks" every now and then but mostly he yawns with a little voice to it or sighs lol. He will be 2 in October. I have heard Bella do a few low woofs but we have only had her a few weeks, she is 2 1/2.
