Question

How much of an increase did it cause to homeowners insurance to own a pit bull terrier?

Answer 1

A LOT of homeowner's insurance companies won't even write a policy for pitbull owners.  If they DO, it'll cost a fortune.  You'd have to search long and hard to find a company that'll do it, or dig deep in your pocket to pay exorbitant rates.

Answer 2

Get this...zero!

You know why?

Because if you tell them you own a pit bull they won't insure it at all.

Answer 3

It is more of an on/off switch.  If you own certain dogs (or with some companies- any dog) they do not want your business.

Some companies that will cover you may want you to have a "better" policy- one that has higher medical payouts in case of claims.  SO it would be very hard to say a dollar amount of how much it would cost.

If you are the guy, I would call your insurance company and ask before you get the dog.
