If you own a Doberman Pinscher and aren't sure where to get homeowners insurance, here is some information that will help you get you home insured, and your dogs liability covered.

The Problem

Many companies won't cover certain breeds of dogs. In fact most companies won't even cover your home if they know you own a certain breed. That's because certain breeds have a higher chance of biting a person and causing injuries according to the center for disease control. An injury caused by your dog is paid under your personal liability benefit on your home insurance policy.

Companies That May Work

Companies typically have a list of dogs they will not accept, however there are some companies that don't have a "dog list."  These companies will typically accept homeowners that own breeds of dogs that other insurance companies won't accept.  Some of these companies charge more, and some don't.  If you own a Doberman Pinscher, you should contact one of the following insurance companies to insure your home and your dogs liability.

• Farmers
• State-Farm
• Mercury Casualty Company
• AutoOwners
• Burns and Wilcox
• Connect With the Right Homeowner's Insurance Company

The best way to research which company will be best for you and your Doberman, is to have an insurance agent in your local area help you do the research.  There is no charge to you to use an agent.  They get paid by the insurance company once you sign up.  Contact a local agent and mention that you are interested in the companies above, and that you would like to find the best coverage at the best price, that will cover your Doberman Pinscher's liability.
