I've never heard that. I always thought that if you own the dog, the only way someone could take it would be through the humane society. 
Jada has gotten better with her barking issue. She will no longer bark at doorbell noises unless they startle her. She still barks at the door, but I am not necessarily going to stop that behavior... ′I am trying to start college and will be living off campus in an apartment with a friend, so I don't mind if people know that I have a dog in there with me.′ 
The GL is working to keep her focus on me, but she does try to rub it off every chance she gets. I do light correction and sometimes will hold her head against my leg. She seems to get the message for about 15 minutes. Would you guys consider that accepta{{?#}}? 

Abby and Princess Powder Puff Jada. ′Jada likes bath time and the shampoo I use is Baby Magic with the scent of Baby Powder, so that is where that nickname came f!′
