Re: Lost my home owners insurance due to my dog....
Do you have a pedigree? If so, all you need is a good lawyer and a copy of the contract. You should be able to pay for your next 30 years of home owner's insurance with the profits. I'm not a letigious person, but I'm all about sticking it to the insurance companies for bunk decisions. We're the ones who pay them (by law most of the time) and we are the only ones who can keep them in check.

This past February I switched from Geico Travlers homeowners insurance to State Farm's homeowners insurance. All has been well and no complaints about State Farm. This past April I bought an American bulldog puppy.
He now is 5 months old and a total sweet heart. This past April I had an alarm system installed from Brinks. After that Brinks gave me papers to show to my insurance agent for my home owners insurance to come down. GREAT I was happy about that. I took the papers over to them, they then told me that I had to have a permit since I live in the city. Called Brinks, got a permit paper sent to me. Called the # on the permit to have a police/fire chief person come out to make sure that my new alarm system was under code and correct. They didn't come out till the middle of May. The same day that the police/fire person came out, so did my insurance agent and took a look at it for himself and had the police/fire guy sign off on it also. All was fine.
Fast forward to this past Saturday. I get a letter in the mail from StateFarm. Saying that my home owners insurance has been canceled. I tried calling the office, closed on weekends. Fast forward to today. Called them on my lunch break and was informed that it was canceled due to the fact that I never told them that I had a pet "pit bull" living in my house and they don't insure people who have pits, rotts, dobermans, or GSD's. I about hit the roof. I told them that he wasn't a pit but an American bull dog, has been in training classes, and loves people. Nope, no can do... if it looks like a pit it then must be a pit. If you have a "dangerous" breed of dog and have State Farm... don't let them know because they will toss you to the curb before you knew what had happened. What pisses me off the most is that the GD insurance agent played with Bosco that day he came over to look over my house. He asked what kind of dog he was and my b/f and I told him american bulldog. He even commented how nice he was. Why would he report us that we had a "pit bull". I'm soooo enraged right now. Well screw Start Farm! I'll take my money and business elsewhere.
Some people are a bunch of know it all folks!! I know of a couple places that are fighting hard against BSL (breed specific legislation) maybe they can give you some ways to fight this whole thing?? I am in Cali. but I know they have done work all over the place, one is CHAKO and the other one is ROVERLUTION, search them but be warned some of the stuff you read is really gonna make you MAD!!! Good luck with your new puppy American Bulldogs rock!!!
