"This is simply not a breed which makes for a household pet."

Some homeowners insurance companies agree. The premium is high and the alternative is getting rid of the dog. The people we know chose to get rid of the dog. No insurance--no mortgage.

Ah, there we go....more idiots who should never have had dogs in the first place dump their animals in the pound.

FYI...these are the top breeds subject to breed prejudice among insurance companies:

Rottweilers
Pitt bulls
GSDs
Chows
Dalmatians
Akitas

I'm an insurance adjuster. Sometimes I work dog attack claims under homeowners policies. The last three attacks I worked involved two rottweilers and one pit bull. All three had the same name: Rambo. No matter where I am when I meet a dog with its owner for the first time, the first thing I do is ask the dog's name. It's truly amazing how much one can learn about another person by what he names his animals.
