I'm curious how far that stance goes. I live in an apartment and own a small breed dog. I work from home, so I'm with her all day. Additionally, she gets a minimum one mile walk in the morning regardless of weather or season, and the same after work in the evening. I've trained her since she was a puppy to be silent. She doesn't bark at all, the most noise she makes is some light whining when one of her favorite people come over.
In your opinion, should I not own her? Obviously I think I should, and feel like I've done my due diligence to provide exercise, entertainment, and training to give her and my neighbors a high quality of life. But I'm curious if your stance holds in every circumstance.
