I did not say I was
sure they had insurance on the dogs.....Actually I said, "
I imagine the dogs were insured and insurance companies will probably have their own investigators too. Unfortunately, no matter what is learned, the poor dogs still died what had to be a cruel and heinous death. It breaks my heart to see how beautiful those dogs were and know they are now gone due to human neglect." I know if I had a show dog that I had invested heavily in, in terms of money, time, and dedication, I would be sure to get an insurance policy on the dog, especially when putting them on the road to attend shows without me.
You can insure just about anything. There are lots of different companies that insure dogs (pets, breeding, and show dogs, etc). "Increasing values for breeding, show dogs and greyhounds means owners cannot afford to take the risk of losing their dog and not being able to replace them with a similar dog. In addition breeding dogs generate significant income which increases their value. Dog insurance policies are designed to act as indemnity insurance. This means they attempt to put the owner in the same financial position after a loss as before within the terms and sum insured of the policy." -- taken from one of the insurance pages.

Again, I mention it not to say insurance would in any way make up for the loss of the dogs, but to say that perhaps if they are insured, the Insurance Investigators will find out more of the story behind their tragic deaths.
