It's kind of crazy...I think German shepherds are supposed to increase your ins. premiums too..We never let our ins. co. know we got a shepherd, but, she's not mean at all, and if she ever got that way, she would be gone in a heartbeat. For one thing, she's in a dog run that is in our fenced back in yard...someone would have to go through our gate, in to our back yard and then open the dog run in order for her to be able to get out....I could see ins. going up with pit bulls, but, most shepherds are a nice dog if they're raised right, and I'm sure it's the same with a chow..not all of them are mean |
