Do you want to add a Doberman Pinscher to your family? Have you bought a Doberman Pinscher already? If so, you may run into problems finding a homeowner's insurance company that will cover your home & dog liability.

Those of us who own Doberman Pinschers know that if properly bred, raised, and trained, they can be one of the nicest dog breeds out there.  Over the last several years, they have been bred to be less aggressive than they used to be, but unfortunately they still have a reputation for being a dangerous dog.

Homeowners Insurance Companies That May Be Options

Many insurance companies won't even cover your home if they know you have a Doberman Pinscher. It's important to make sure you find a company who will cover your home and dog bite liability.  Here are a few companies that cover homeowner's and their homes, in some states, even if they own Doberman Pinschers:

• AutoOwners (Owners Insurance Company)
• Burns and Wilcox
• Farmers Insurance
• Mercury Casualty Company
• Prudential
• State-Farm

Contact a local agent in your area to find out if the companies above, or other insurance companies that offer Doberman insurance in your state.  

Why You Should Tell Your Insurance Company You Have a Doberman Pinscher  

Many people don't worry about keeping their home insurance company in-the-know when it comes to the dogs they own.  However, you want to make sure you let your home owner insurance company know if you purchase a dog. That way if you ever have a claim, they don't have a reason to cancel your policy when you need it most, because you didn't disclose your dog and its liability to them.
