Is it true that insurance may not cover you if you have a rottweiler dog?

Question

and that it lowers your property value if you have a rottweiler?

Answer 1

depends on your insurance.  they asked me if i owned a dog and what type and if i lived in a neighborhood.  i do not think it lowers your property value though.  you may have to pay more or yes, they may refuse to cover you.

Answer 2

They will refuse insurance on certain types of dogs . . . or just exclude the dog . . . or charge a bigger premium.  I've never heard of lower property value due to a dog  . . .

Answer 3

It doesn't lower your property value.

But I haven't seen ANY insurance companies willing to give coverage for a rottweiler.

If you lie and say you don't have one, that's grounds to void the claim - and the policy.  If you tell the truth, they'll deny your application.

Foremost Insurance will write a homeowners on a person with a Rottie, if there's no bite history - but they will make you sign a dog liability exclusion.  In other words, they won't cover dog bites.  They are the only company I know of that will do it.

There could be more in YOUR area, you'll have to talk to a local agent - local to YOU.

Answer 4

Yes certain insurance companies will not carry you if you have certain breeds of dogs or you will have a much higher premium!! Because those breeds of dogs are known as biters!! Really stupid but yeah!! i would say it does not lower your property value..

Answer 5

BECAUSE THEY BITE when you interrupt them crapping on your lawn
