    Who wouldn't want to insure these faces?? Believe it or not, many insurance companies won't insure your Home or Renters policy if you own a Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman etc.                                                                                                                                                                                                        From www.blessthebullys.com; Unfortunately, many pit bull owners are faced with a type of breed bias that comes in the form of insurance companies that will not cover their dogs under their homeowners insurance policies. However, contrary to popular belief, these insurance company restrictions, known as "blacklists," do not only apply to “pit bulls.” The following breeds are commonly blacklisted by insurance companies:


    American pit bull terrier

    American Staffordshire terrier

    Bull terrier

    Wolf hybrids

    Akitas

    Chow-chows

    Doberman pinschers

    Olde English bulldogs 

    Rottweilers

    German shepherds

    Siberian huskies

    Alaskan malamutes

    Presa canarios

    Great Danes

    Boxers

    Saint Bernards

    Mastiffs

    Boerboels


    The approach to insuring homeowners with dogs varies from city to city and state to state. In Michigan and Pennsylvania, home insurance companies are prohibited by state law from discriminating against certain dog breeds.  Adding to the confusion for those searching for coverage, the decision on whether or not to write a policy to owners of certain breeds can also vary from company to company, and even agent to agent. 

    WOOF! April Schaffroth at Farmers Insurance can and would love to insure your home with ALL dog breeds!
