| What a bunch of balogna (BALONEY!)
I am in the process of buying a house. So far, no one's said BOO about my owning TWO ROTTWEILERS, a ROTT-PIT MIX and a DOBERMAN. I'm starting to wonder why agents are less informed than the insurance carriers themselves at this point. Yes, some companies DO have breed restrictions. They also restrict trampolines and skate board ramps. Alright, fine. So they don't get my business.
I was talking with the agent who I did get my insurance from and he outright said to me that the agents make the recommendations on whether to insure a specific DOG (not breed) in the majority of cases. He said that his company does not have a breed restriction but he knows plenty of agents who got bitten by a dog as a kid, and won't insure anything bigger than a cocker spaniel - adn they work for the same company HE works for!
Now his criteria for insuring my dogs - meeting them. Didn't even WANT to see that they all have CGCs, that one competes in obedience, that one's a therapy dog. Just wanted to MEET THEM. Oh - and the rate for insuring my home is the same as teh rate for insuring my home if I only owned a cat.
Taipan - let your application processor know you need an insurance company referral. We have a list of agents and companies for New England, NJ and NY (and other places too).  |
