Home Owners Insurance / "Dangerous Dog Breed" Question

Well, shit. Maybe I can get him to stop flexing.

 

Definitely sounds like killers when they play. Wife has 3 rotts, breeds and sells them. Great dogs, smart,loyal

 

While I sort of agree, some breeds have so much more potential to become dangerous, and there s no getting around that reputation. You are nt going to convince someone who was attacked for no reason that they are not dangerous. YT is full of videos of folks who are mauled by dangerous dogs.

 

I like dogs but I don't like to pick up dog shit or end up stepping in it trying to find every pile while picking it up. Our cat does it in one place, it's small and I can clean it easily.

 

The secret is to get a smaller dog that eats it.

 

I think maybe the lists of "dangerous dogs" may reflect ones used a lot for fighting. Plenty of big dog breeds out there. I had a co worker who had a rodesian ridgeback. It was a beautiful dog, but when I walked into his yard his back bristled up, and he barked. I nearly sh*t my pants. His bark sounded like a sub woofer going off.

 

My 100lb pitbull Harley would lick and sit on a burglars lap..he never met a person he didn’t wanna score some pats from...

 

From State Farm website:

State Farm does not ask what breed of dog is owned when writing homeowner or renters insurance. Just like humans, dogs are individuals. Every dog has a unique personality. While a dogs’ breed may dictate what the dog looks like, how a dog reacts to people or situations isn’t guaranteed by breed or type. Most bites or serious injuries are a perfect storm of situation and circumstance. Responsible dog ownership and educating children and adults about how to safely interact with a dog will help reduce the chance of a dog bite or injury. Remember, under the right circumstances, any dog can bite.

They should be giving me a discount on my auto insurance

 

Looks good! What time is dinner? Lol

 

Looks friendly to me.......

 

My S Huskie Halle was the nicest dog to anyone. Most Huskies are. The problem with most Huskies is..........they......like......to......chew....things...........up....that....you....don't......want......chewed. Like wood windowsills and Jeep Cherokee dashes to bits. Don't ask how I know this.

 

Happy tails!

 

Add....I forgot one other minor detail. Adult female Huskies can be quite seriously ALPHA, especially with other female dogs like a Great Dane. Again don't ask. I think the greatest liability insurance wise with S Huskies is mostly due to property damage when young and "potential" alpha aggressiveness to other dogs that might not go well at all.

 

if you don’t have papers on the dog just say you thought it was a Lab. They can’t tell you what to think!

 

Yes but with a population of almost 80million dogs the majority of them are not dangerous.
I come from an experience with my dog. He was a Chessie. Looked like a curly lab. He was the most obedient dog, but if he didn’t like you he would bite you. He was more dangerous than any of the dangerous breeds. Because they usually give warning signs. There was none with him. Every dog has the ability to become dangerous. Most of the time it’s the idiots holding the leash or what’s done behind closed doors that cause dogs to become dangerous

 

I had a neighbor who had two of these. They were super nice and each had their own outdoor lounge chairs.

 

Already know. I grew up with pits. The onus is on the owner. I was attacked by a pair of dogs; a large poodle and a pit. I was never bitten, but I was frozen where I stood, and I didn t dare move. Both dogs were jumping at my face trying to take nips of it for what seemed like 5 minutes. (Part of the legal definition of assault, "refers to a credible threat or attempt to cause battery.", but I m not certain that criteria would apply to a dog/s as far creating just cause to bring legal action against the owner), but he owner was sitting on bleachers bout 50 ft away laughing. I never wanted to really hurt someone like I did that day. So nice or not, large or small, I d just assume stay away from dogs.

 

Now that's an awesome doggy daddy there!

 

Here she is with my son. Her first trip to the beach at Hatteras NC. With that white patch on her chest we could say she is part Border Collie

 

Pretty much because of this statement here, he is going with State Farm. Quoted $700 for his home owners (over 1K less than the other one) and his auto ins. will be lower than Erie in price too. Win Win

 

We had AAA for many years and just switched to State Farm last year. Both companies asked us if we had "dangerous dogs" and listed off several breeds. Our Lab and Yorkie didn't make the list. But yes, I would kill for some of those insurance rates you guys are quoting.

 

I have a rhodesian ridgeback shelpard mix people do get scared when they come in back yard as they see his hair sticking up! Hes a gentle dog even with all the kids jumping on him

 

LOL my 100lb pitbull Winston would be just like your Harley....lick and sit on burglars laps too!!! SMH....he's so lovable, wants to play with everyone

 

Dangerous dog?
