Again, some just don't know the reason or situtation as to why some would debark. People are just not forgiving towards animals as they are children....that is the exception to the rule for me because I'd rather live next door to barking dogs than screaming kids....get them a muzzle!

My parents have a neighbor who has a little white dog, about 10lbs who somtimes bark when she is gone. This woman's other neighbors moved in about 2months ago and have called animal control 3times
She is a good responsible dog owner and a firstime homeowner(in a down marked so cannot sell) She too is a loss as to what to do. She had had a trainer out many times to help and the barking is controlled completely while she is there but when she is gone the little dog still barks. She is considering debarking as a last result durring the next teeth cleaning. She has already tried a spray collar and refuses to use a shock collar. I can see where in the right circumstance it would be a last result option for some. It would not be an option for me EVER but I can step outside of my little world and see where for some it is an option.
To OP I would ask this breeder about it, along with many other questions, or just move on, there are other good breeders out there.
