Was this collie debarked?

What's debarked mean?

If Practice Makes Perfect and Nobody's Perfect,Why Practice?

I don't think so. I have two collies - one is very high pitched and squealy when she's excited (playing, doorbells, etc), gruff and quiet when she's "speaking" on command. My other one is almost silent, but has a soft "wuff" that means "something's up" and a big, bad, rarely used "roorooroo" for threatening circumstances.
Lassie is also a really big dog, and larger dogs tend to have deeper voices.

This Lassie is not debarked. His bark is very similar to most collies today. If you went to a Collie show, they would all sound very much like this dog. They have a wide range of sounds, and can be very vocal. I noticed in the older black and white shows, they usually have Lassie barking frantically when something is wrong. And they do bark like that when something really is going on. It's that almost ear pearcing bark that everyone is referring to. It seems they trained him to use the more tone downed sound they normally have. Not so much of a bark, but more like just an almost conversational woofing. This one sounds almost identical to my oldest Collie, Scarlett. Most people say my dogs sounded exactly alike when they were all together, but I've always been able to tell them apart of course. but if i closed my eyes, I'd swear it was Scarlett barking.
My youngest collie, Grace, came to me already debarked. The debarked sound is much quieter, usually a whisper. A lot of show breeders debark their dogs, and believe me, it can be tempting! But I prefer to hear them. Their barks are part of their personality and what makes them individuals.
And now I've revealed what a dork I am by analyzing the Collie bark.

One of our collies had been debarked by the breeder when we got her, and she sounds similar to Lassie.

*EDIT* The poster above me perfectly described her "de-bark".
