List Of The Most Dangerous Dogs: Insurance Dog Breed Blacklist
More than one third of all homeowner’s insurance liability claims paid out in 2013 were related to dog bites. The average claim was about $30,000, adding up to about $490 million for the year. Insurance companies are concerned about these costs, so it has become common for them to blacklist certain breeds of dog. While each company has a different list, the following fourteen breeds were the most common to be excluded from coverage:
Pit Bull Terriers
Staffordshire Terriers
Rottweilers
German Shepherds
Presa Canarios
Chows Chows
Doberman Pinschers
Akitas
Wolf-Hydribs
Mastiffs
Can Corsos
Great Danes
Alaskan Malamutes
Siberian Huskies
