Homeowner Insurance: Is Your Dog Excluded?
When looking to welcome a new dog into your home, or caring for someone else's dog on your property, be aware there are some breeds of dogs which may be excluded under your home insurance policy, leaving you open for more responsibility than you bargained for.
All Dogs Have The Potential
Realize that any dog, regardless of breed or size, can bite or be aggressive towards another dog, animal or person when they first meet them, during feeding time, or when they have possession of toys or treats. Not all dogs are cordial, have received obedience training or are socialized.
