Home owners or renters insurance coverage (breed)

[IrishAyes]

6. When I first retired and moved

to this little flyspeck remote town in the MidWest, I was lucky that I got insurance at all with my chows. They've been on a growing number of companies' hit lists. That's not the reason I got the two dogs I have now, small ones, but believe me - unless the chows had perceived a threat to me, these two small dogs would be the liklier pair to bite. The JRT is just as fearless as a chow, and I think perhaps as protective. I don't think she'd really make breed standard, either, because she's a bit overgrown. During the recent firecracker season, her first, she literally roared and charged the fence every time fireworks exploded anywhere. Had to keep her inside more because she stayed in such a fury. More than a mere watchdog, she is.
