Denied Insurance
I can't seem to find homeowners insurance unless I lie about J's dog living with us. He's a mix with some (American?) Staffordshire Terrier in him, so he's on the vicious, high-liability dog list. 
He's all bark, this one.
What did or would you do?
Re: Denied Insurance
Ah, the fun of shopping for HOI. We called 6 or 7 places, and were always asked what breed of dogs we have. Some even specifically asked if it was a pit bull, staffordshire, chow, etc. I know it's fraud, but I have a co worker in the same boat as you, and her stafforshire terrier is now a lab/boxer mix. But, you may want to go a bit further and get a new vet to keep up with the new breed your dog has become. Or, you could just say you do not have a dog.
I can print out paperwork for you if you need it showing that he is a "boxer mix."
Thats what I did when I had my pit bull . . . and honestly, without a DNA test theres no way for them to argue.
Do this!!!!!
Damn, Katie is hookin' it UP. I agree with K- DO THIS!!!!
Ooh, Katie! That would be awesome. (Would you get in trouble?) Actually, if we said he was a Corgi mix, it might be more believable. Everyone thinks he's a weirdo Corgi because he has little legs and big ears. Let me see if I have a pic.
Katie for the rescue!
It really po's me when insurance does this. It should instead ask: Human - "Good owner or bad owner?" I've seen a nasty toy poodle go apesh!t and do serious damage because its owner was a POS.
Woah, that sucks.
I would just say he is some sort of Mutt.....
Go Katie!
I totally agree with you, Rachel. It makes me so sad. I can't believe companies can do this. Our CPA told us that friends' of his had to get new insurance because their company wanted to raise their premiums by $1000+ because they had a LAB! Yes, a lab! Can you believe it? The company's reasoning was that it's a big dog so it could be trouble. Ugh, makes me so mad.
