If this is the case then they need to NOT cover anyone with ANY breed of dog, because ANY dog has the potential to bite, no matter how big or small they are. I know someone that was over at a friends house that had to have 5 stitches below her eye because a 14 month old toy poodle bit her and wouldn't let go. It was also unprovoked. I was there and saw it happen. He weighed about four pounds. He growled every time someone got close to his owner. I'm sure it was his owner's fault because of lack of discipline and socialization. Anyway, just clarifying my above post obie. |
Oh, yeah I totally agree. I got a serious bite from a cocker and the owners made it out like it was no biggie, saying it was MY fault! ridiculous. There should be no prejudice but there are way more lawsuits from bites from big dogs than little ones and insurers know that. It's riskier for them to insure people who have big dogs because they can do more damage.
