    Default Dog Breeds- 'the list'

    Does anyone know of any references (links, etc...)to the dog breeds that insurance companies (in massachusetts) have issues with. Most of my inspections are for the Mass Fair Plan (or Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association (MPIUA) and I have to report on particular breeds. The obvious, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Akita . . . but, I'm sure there are a few more at least. Thanks in advance for any direction. Kirk

    Never heard of German Shepherds being on a "bad dog" list.

    If you need a list of non-insurable dog breeds, I would contact MPIUA or the folks that have a problem with the dogs. I would bet that they have a list that you can use.

    I take offense to being on the "bad dog" list. Sure, I've chewed a few slippers in my younger days, but I'm pretty well behaved. Just don't come in my yard without my owner around.

    I think the reputation of dogs is relative to the owners. Some people should not own dogs.

    I have heard that the Dalmations can be troublesome. Don't know if they are on any lists.

    Up here in Ontario fwiw they have banned Pit Bulls.

    I myself have two Vizslas, beautiful dogs and very friendly fwiw.

    I found this site and thought it might be of assistance.

    Marty,

    Years ago I had one like that come after me from behind while I was outside tapping on the fascia and wood trim with my pole (I used a wooden tool handle about 5 feet long with a rubber table leg on one end and a weed puller probe epoxied into the opposite end), I heard the dog and turned around just in time to lower the pole at the oncoming dog ... the dog swallowed the (fortunately) rubber end first ... all the way down until the dog choked on it, spit and coughed, and ran away yelping, cowering in the rear corner of the yard and afraid to come in my direction.

    Too bad I had not lowered the sharp probe end ... it would have been one dead dog on the end of a bar-b-que spit as that probe end would have torn its throat to pieces.

    · GOLDEN RETRIEVER: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?

    · DACHSHUND: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp
    · ROTTWEILER: Make me.
    · LAB: Oh, me, me!!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I?
    · TIBETAN TERRIER: Let the Border Collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy!
    · JACK RUSSELL TERRIER: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
    · POODLE: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
    · COCKER SPANIEL: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
    · DOBERMAN: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.
    · BOXER: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark......

    Thanks for all your assistances. I did receive a small list from my company a few days ago, so, I'm ok there. You know though, once poochy bites someone, it's pretty much moot as to whether they're on a list. One homeowner sued another because she was walking her dog and another dog came padding along minding its own business and the dog on the leash went full tilt after the other dog and broke the woman's finger. And I found out that this particular town in Mass. doesn't even have a leash law. I was floored.

    Post Re: Dog Breeds- 'the list'

    So I just picked up a Pit/Mutt/Mix from the Worcester animal shelter. Didn't think about my homeowner's insurance until someone sent me an email telling me I should check with my policy and see if it covered dogs, especially Pits, etc. Turns out, they don't. The comment from the insurers was, "If we don't know about a dog, then of course we're not going to do anything. But if you ever told us you had a pit bull or any of the dogs on the list, or we found out because you had a dog bite incident, we would drop you". They also replied that they don't have any supplemental plan, or anything of the sort. Here's the list from travelers: "Bullmastiff, Rottweiler, German Shepherd (unless it's a seeing eye dog with papers), Husky, Chow, Akita, Doberman, Presa Canarie (I think they meant Presa Canario), Pit Bull including American Staffordshire Terrier, Great Dane, Alaskan". Gee, that's all? Geniuses don't include Boxers, and a number of other dogs I might put on the list if I were an evil insurance agency, but that's beside the point.

    Now I am stuck. I spent a few hundred on this dog between saving/adopting it from the shelter, buying a crate, putting up a dog run, and taking it to the vet multiple times. And now I'm going to lose my homeowner's insurance?

    To be fair, I've spent some time looking up insurance that would cover dogs, and people had mentioned Farmer's and State farm. Unfortunately neither one of them are available in this state, maybe because insurance was just deregulated here. Otherwise, there's only this Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association (MPIUA) also known as the Massachusetts FAIR Plan. And I have no idea if this is going to make my premium prohibitively expensive or not.

    Anyone have specifics on where to go for insurance, how to approach the issue, and how much it might cost?

    Thanks

    No you didn't ... you just picked up a Mutt/Mixed Breed/Mongrel ... get a paper from your vet or the animal shelter which says so.

    Thanks for that reply. I'll get the moderator to update my name - sorry, just used to other message boards where everyone uses a pseudonym.

    You know, that was my first thought this morning - was because when we adopted the dog, they were not sure what breed it was, as it was just taken in as a stray by the shelter, with no prior history. By the look of her, however, I'd definitely say she was a Pit of some sort, and so would my neighbors, I'm sure.

    I appreciate that advice, but I'm just not the guy who wants to risk losing his house because I got the animal shelter to say this was a mutt/unknown-breed, then have my insurance either drop my coverage if they ever suspected/claimed it was a pit/mix sufficient to meet their ban criteria, or worse, if there were to be an accident like a dog bite, for there to be no insurance coverage for myself or someone else who really needed it.

    Thanks

    That is why I put the winking face ( ) there. Showing that it was 'in jest' ... wink, wink ...

    I do understand your problem, and your problem is compounded by the fact that if you cannot get insurance coverage for your dog, you will have a difficult time giving the dog to another person/family who would be willing to take care of it has you have started doing.

    Leaves you in the position of basically *having to get insurance* to cover the dog, or knowing that the dog may not survive if taken back to the shelter.

    To me, *the shelter* has a duty to notify those who adopt those breeds that certain risks come with those breeds, including those breeds not being allowed in some areas, having to be registered as a dangerous breed, requiring additional insurance, possibly meaning the cancellation of you insurance should the insurance company be notified you have one of those breeds. Seems to me that would be something which the operators of the shelter would require, otherwise it leave them open to being included in any action should an accident of some type happen in which the dog injures a person.

    Welcome (insert real name here LOL). I know your dilemma from an inspector's point of view. For whatever reason, these dogs get a bad rap and mostly it's an upbringing issue vs breed. But, as I have been told, some of the breeds have instincts that go back generations, so the insurance companies want to be safe than sorry. Dog bites account for a large % of insurance claims each each year. I had worked for one company that actually had me "interviewing" the dog and reporting its disposition and such. But, I don't work for them anymore and from what I hear, there aren't any companies in Mass. that cover these dogs except the "Fair Plan". And, depending on the dog, yes, I have known it to have caused an increase in premiums. My list is as follows:
    AKITA
    ALASKAN MALAMUTE
    BOXER
    BULLMASTIFF
    CHESAPEAK BAY RETRIEVER
    CHOW
    DALMATIAN
    DOBERMAN
    GERMAN SHEPHERD
    GREAT DANE
    PITBULL
    RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK
    ROTTWEILER
    SAMOYED
    SIBERIAN HUSKY
    ANY WOLF BREED

    SIMILARITIES W/ OTHER LIST (in bold):
    Bullmastiff,
    Rottweiler,
    German Shepherd
    Husky,
    Chow,
    Akita,
    Doberman,
    Presa Canarie
    Pit Bull including American Staffordshire Terrier,
    Great Dane,
    Alaskan

    There's more to have to know than our parents did as far as insurance carriers go these days. Imagine having to weigh having a pet (namely a german shepherd, as I see it as one of the "all-american" icons of family pets) with whether or not to pay for it (kinda like leasing it )

    As the owner of four Yorkies, Myki, Spike, Sly and Lizzie, two boys and two girls and all of them think they are as tough as any Pitt, Rott, Akita etc. It's a lot of fun when I take my guys out for a walk and we encounter one ot the above breeds. My guys will try to charge after them and more often than not the larger breeds will turn and run. I guess it's' all in the attitude. If you think you are a bad ass you just might come across as a bad ass.

    I agree with that, and bad dogs come from bad owners, but, there are also breeds which have a history of 'not being good dogs', and that history is usually deserved.

    If hes a good dog now with some training he will be just fine and never Bite.
    I sure hope you never tell a client that.

    In the Orlando area, just since we have been up here, there have been many (probably a dozen) of dogs 'of those breeds' which had 'good owners', and which ... bit and injured people from little kids to elderly, people the dogs have been around for a long time, their owners and family members.

    One thing which can definitely be said about those dogs: they never bit anyone ... BEFORE. Never ever. They were "good dogs", being treated nice, and the only thing you can say about those dogs is that "they have never bitten anyone YET.

    There is no way to know if those dogs "will bite someone" at some point in time, but it happens, and it is not rare.

    I keep my dogs very Socialized with people they just love everybody they see.
    As were those dogs.

    I think we get to caught up in all this insurance stuff...

    So, I got attacked by a weiner dog this morning. The only reason that small dogs aren't on the list is that they can't really cause any serious damage (unless there's an infant involved).

    The owner told me he hates anyone in a uniform as well, and that the dog received 2 doses of pepper spray by a UPS man a while back.

    The only 2 breeds of dogs that I have actually been attacked by are a black lab and a weiner dog--- go figure.

    I think dogs know when you're afraid of them. Even just a little tiny Yorkie bit.

    I've been around all sorts of dogs all my life and never had a problem with any of them, including thousands of inspections over the last seven years.

    I also know how to approach a dog, though, wild, tame, mine, someone else's. A few days ago I was at an inspection where a large golden lab was in the back yard. My Clients and the Realtor were upset because there was never a dog there previously when they had gone to look at the property. Mr. G. Lab had free reign of the side and rear yards. When I looked outside, I saw big bones (non-human), tennis balls, ropes, and other throw toys, so I knew Mr. G. Lab was a big ol' softie. I crouched down at the glass door to put myself on his level (less fear to me on his part), opened the door slightly, and in comes this huge, pink, wet, slobbery tongue. Reminded me of Gene Simmons -- LOL. Mr. G. Lab just wanted a little love, attention, and someone to throw all of his toys in the yard so that he could go collect them all and bring them back.

    Inspection accomplished. Clients happy.

I sent a photo a week later i get a letter they canceled my home insurance and said i was un insureable. They put me thru hell i had to find another co and lie to them about having a dog .Mean while the first co found out the new insurance co i got and contaced them and told them, i had a dog they came to my house and looked around the yard i hid the dog . bottom line if you own a sheperd mix dont tell your insurance.

    Racial profiling for animals, nice Or should it be breed profiling. So I guess homes with hard wood floors and tile will cost more next, right? After all it might hurt more when you fall on those, as compared to a plush carpet. I know this in not the place to discuss this, but does anybody find this wrong?

    For those of you that question weather an insurance company should keep a " Bad dog list", I have a story for you.
    When I was around 10 years old I was attacked by a mixed Shepard breed. Not bitten, attacked, BIG differance.
    Lease laws, bad dog laws and increased insurance cost to owners of these types of dogs help to keep injurys down. Remember dogs more often attack childern than adults.
    I think that a 40 ton big rig truck needs more insurance because it can do more damage, just as some types of dogs can do more damage than others and therefore measures are needed to protect the public.

    I was chased and bitten by a scottish terrier when I was a kid. Funny (kinda), my friend had been bitten by the same dog (in the same exact spot). I, however, provoked the little !*#&!$@! cuz he bit my friend. The dog was relentless. I was riding my bike and he ran after me forever on those little legs, barking and growling all the time. My mistake; I slowed down to try to kick him (why do I feel bad about saying that now???).

    I think that there should be a choice; you want a dog, pay for it. Just like a trampoline or pool.

    Will insurers deny coverage if your spouse is on a police wanted list or deny coverage because your spouse has a propensity to drink and drive? Or will they deny coverage because you live in an earthquake zone, or fire zone, or hurricane zone?

    At the rate insurers are going you will have to bring your 40 year old house up to code before they will cover it.

    Where does it stop, its gotten to the point where insurers are denying more and more things, while charging more and more for less coverage. What a racket.

    They may not deny, but in some areas you will have premiums that are quite high.

    In Massachusetts, people who buy these older homes (turn of the century and older) are actually placed in the Mass Fair Plan automatically. Some (that I'm aware of) anyway. Horsehair plaster and knob and tube wiring head the list of items in older homes needing upgrading. I believe if you do the upgrades (essentially rebuilding the dwelling to the point you couldn't tell its age - new walls, electrical, etc..) you'll be ok.

    Yes, those are some, and they're all about the same, some companies have different criteria as to what dogs are more of a priority on the list, as to not insure the home because of certain breeds.
    Mastifs are another, dobermans and there are a few others, when I would insure and inspect a home, it was the chihauhau's I was terrified of.

    Its not just the insurance companies, I am a landlord have a few rental homes I do allow dogs but no pit bulls. My house my rules if I have to come into the house to make any repairs I do not want to have to think about a pit bull. Big dog lover here but have a real fear of this breed.

    I'm afraid of whippets.....should have been on the "bad" dog list.


    I'm also worried about the size of the dogs that roam my neighborhood.

    Seriously. That dog looks like it is taking steroids and going to the gym seven days a week.
