11 DOGS THAT COULD RAISE YOUR
INSURANCE COSTS
By Kay Bell | Bankrate.com
Insurers say when they identify dog breeds that tend
to bite, it helps bring down the cost of homeowner
policies. Dog owners say their pets should be
considered as individuals and the insurance approach
amounts to ineffective canine profiling.
Some states are considering barring "breed
discrimination" by insurers. Even the American Kennel
Club has weighed in, arguing that some dogs save
insurance companies money because the animal is a
natural alarm system whose bark deters intruders and
prevents potential theft.
While the debate rages on, many major insurance
carriers continue to limit coverage to dog owners. Large
dogs that can inflict a lot of damage are prime
"no-insure" targets. Other considerations that influence
a company's willingness to cover a breed include the
frequency of dog bites for the breed, the breed's
reputation as well as research conducted by the Centers
for Disease Control and individual insurance
companies.
Will your family pet cost you more in insurance
premiums? Here, listed alphabetically, are 11 pooches
that regularly make insurance companies' "bad dog"
lists. Breed information comes from the American
Kennel Club and various breed Web sites.
Breed Information
Akita
The Akita is a powerfully built dog originally developed to
hunt bears in Japan, where it now is primarily used as a
guard dog and police dog. The Japanese view the animal
as a symbol of good health; upon a baby's birth, its
parents often receive an Akita statuette to signify the
giver's wish for the child's long and happy life. Helen Keller is credited
with bringing Akitas to the United States and the breed was first
registered by the American Kennel Club in 1972. It is a member of the
club's working group.
Alaskan Malamute
Alaskan Malamutes are among the oldest Arctic sled
dogs. They were named after the native Inuit tribe called
Mahlemuts, who settled in the upper western part of
Alaska and who are thought to have developed the dogs
to serve as a pack animal. The Malamute is an incredibly
strong breed and puppies begin sled training as young as three to five
months. The American Kennel Club first registered the Alaskan
Malamute in 1935 and it is a member of the club's working group.
Chow Chow
The Chow Chow lineage dates back more than 2000
years. The ancient Chinese bred these dogs to hunt,
herd, pull freight and protect homes, but today the Chow
is primarily a companion dog. Owners extol the animal's
intelligence, dignity and loyalty. Even non-dog folks know
this breed because of its distinctive blue-black tongue. Fuzzy Chow
puppies become powerful and independent dogs in just a few months, so
it is a breed best suited to an experienced owner. First recognized by the
American Kennel Club in 1903, the Chow is member of the club's
non-sporting group.
Doberman Pinscher
Doberman Pinschers combine a graceful appearance with
a sharp intelligence. They are strong, quick-thinking dogs
with an ability to respond immediately to danger, making
them one of the most reliable of all dogs. While the canine
is easy to teach, breed specialists warn that owners who
do not have time to properly train a Doberman should consider a different
pet. First recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1908, the
Doberman is a member of the working group.
German Shepherd
This breed is known for its courage, steadfastness and
keen senses. German Shepherds have proved to be
canine companions that delight in joining their owners on
long drives, fishing trips, swimming or hiking. The breed
generally exhibits a self-confidence and aloofness that
doesn't lend itself to immediate friendships. However, say owners, once
a Shepherd gets to know you, it is a wonderful addition to any family. The
American Kennel Club, which first recognized this breed in 1908, places
the German Shepherd in its herding group.
Pit Bull
Commonly called the American Pit Bull, these dogs are
loved by their intensely loyal owners but feared by many
who know them mainly as fighting animals. The dogs
share some characteristics of the American Kennel
Club-recognized Bull Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier
breeds. The Pit Bull makes the hard-to-insure list in part because of what
some owners cite as its history of being selectively bred specifically to
create the ultimate canine gladiator.
Presa Canario
The American Kennel Club does not officially register the
Perro de Presa Canario, but the breed has been accepted
for recording in the AKC's Foundation Stock Service. A
medium sized, well-built dog, the breed originated in the
Canary Islands. Fans of the breed say its powerful shape
and low deep bark make it a natural guard dog, but that is also is a loyal,
eager-to-please pet who is quiet and subdued in his own home.
Rottweiler
The Rottweiler is an intelligent, steady friend, but is rather
aloof, which contributes to its strong guarding instinct.
The breed's actual origin is not documented, but it is
believed Rottweilers are descended from one of the
drover dogs indigenous to ancient Rome. It is a
medium-large, robust and powerful dog, with a black coat defined with
rust markings. The breed loves exercise and thrills to the challenges of
any outdoor sports. A member of the American Kennel Club's working
group, Rottweilers were first recognized by the AKC in 1931.
Siberian Husky
As its name denotes, this breed is native to Siberia, with
the first North American Huskies brought to Alaska in
1909. They are outgoing, fun-loving dogs with a nature to
roam as their Arctic ancestors did. That means the breed
needs an alert owner who stays in control -- and who has
a fenced yard. The Husky resembles the Alaskan Malamute, but is lighter
in build and also less bold. The Siberian Husky was first registered by the
American Kennel Club in 1930 and is a member of the club's working
group.
Staffordshire Bull Terrier
The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a highly-intelligent dog,
looks forward to daily exercise to maintain his
characteristic lean-muscled look. The breed generally is a
sweet-tempered and affectionate, but its tenacity and
strength, including powerful jaws that demand heavy-duty
chew toys, require an experienced owner. The Staffordshire Bull Terrier
was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1974 and is a
member of the terrier group.
Wolf hybrid
Owners of these canines prefer the term Wolfdog, noting
that dogs were reclassified in 1993 as a subspecies of
wolf so wolves and dogs are the same species. Critics of
the breed, which is not recognized by the American
Kennel Club, argue that the animals are unpredictable,
dangerous, make poor pets and are impossible to inoculate against
rabies. Fans say the Wolfdog is a good companion and helps educate
the public about wolves. Ownership of the animals is illegal in some
areas.

APPLICANT'S COPY
A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to
promote accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files
of every “consumer reporting agency” (CRA). Most CRAs are
credit bureaus that gather and sell information about you - such as
if you pay your bills on time or have filed bankruptcy - to creditors,
employers, landlords, and other businesses. You can find the
complete text of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, at the Federal
Trade Commission’s web site (http://www.ftc.gov). The FCRA
gives you specific rights, as outlined below. You may have
additional rights under state law. You may contact a state or local
consumer protection agency or a state attorney general to learn
those rights.
z You must be told if information in your file has been used
against you. Anyone who uses information from a CRA to take
action against you - such as denying an application for credit,
insurance, or employment - must tell you, and give you the name,
address, and phone number of the CRA that provided the consumer
report.
z You can find out what is in your file. At your request, a CRA
must give you the information in your file, and a list of everyone
who has requested it recently. There is no charge for the report if a
person has taken action against you because of information
supplied by the CRA, if you request the report within 60 days of
receiving notice of the action. You also are entitled to one free
report every twelve months upon request if you certify that (1) you
are unemployed and plan to seek employment within 60 days, (2)
you are on welfare, or (3) your report is inaccurate due to fraud.
Otherwise, a CRA may charge you up to eight dollars.
z You can dispute inaccurate information with the CRA. If you
tell a CRA that your file contains inaccurate information, the CRA
must investigate the items (usually within 30 days) by presenting to
its information source all relevant evidence you submit, unless your
dispute is frivolous. The source must review your evidence and
report its findings to the CRA. (The source also must advise
national CRAs - to which it has provided the date - of any error.)
The CRA must give you a written report of the investigation, and a
copy of your report if the investigation results in any change. If the
CRA’s investigation does not resolve the dispute, you may add a
brief statement to your file. The CRA must normally include a
summary of your statement in future reports. If an item is deleted
or a dispute statement is filed, you may ask that anyone who has
recently received your report be notified of the change.
z Inaccurate information must be corrected or deleted. A CRA
must remove or correct inaccurate or unverified information from
its files, usually within 30 days after you dispute it. However, the
CRA is not required to remove accurate data from your file unless
it is outdated (as described below) or cannot be verified. If your
dispute results in any change to your report, the CRA cannot
reinsert into your file a disputed item unless the information source
verifies its accuracy and completeness. In addition, the CRA must
give you a written notice telling you it has reinserted the item. The
notice must include the name, address and phone number of the
information source.
z You can dispute inaccurate items with the source of the
information. If you tell anyone - such as a creditor who reports to a
CRA - that you dispute an item, they may not then report the
information to a CRA without including a notice of your dispute.
In addition, once you’ve notified the source of the error in writing,
it may not continue to report the information if it is, in fact, an
error.
z Outdated information may not be reported. In most cases, a
CRA may not report negative information that is more than seven
years old; ten years for bankruptcies.
z Access to your file is limited. A CRA may provide information
about you only to people with a need recognized by the FCRA usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer,
employer, landlord, or other business.
z Your consent is required for reports that are provided to
employers, or reports that contain medical information. A CRA
may not report medical information about you to creditors, insurers,
or employers without your permission.
z You may choose to exclude your name from CRA lists for
unsolicited credit and insurance offers. Creditors and insurers may
use file information as the basis for sending you unsolicited offers
of credit or insurance. Such offers must include a toll-free phone
number for you to call if you want your name and address removed
from future lists. If you call, you must be kept off the lists for two
years. If you request, complete, and return the CRA form provided
for this purpose, you must be taken off the lists indefinitely.
z You may seek damages from violators. If a CRA, a user or (in
some cases) a provider of CRA data, violates the FCRA, you may
sue them in state or federal court.
The FCRA gives several different federal agencies authority to enforce the FCRA:

6. TENANT TO MAINTAIN: Tenant shall keep the premises
and the fixtures and appliances therein in a clean, sightly and
healthy condition, and in good repair, and in accordance with
any and all ordinances in such cases made and provided, at
Tenant's own expense, and upon the termination of this
Agreement, for any reason, shall yield and return the same
back to Landlord in as good condition of cleanliness and
repair as at the date of the execution hereof, reasonable wear
and tear excepted. Tenant shall make all necessary repairs to
the premises whenever damage to the same has occurred or
repairs are required, and shall replace all broken glass and
fixtures. Tenant is responsible for any damage to appliances
and fixtures, including refrigerator damage by sharp objects
during defrost, and toilet stoppage caused by flushing other
than toilet tissue. If the premises shall not be kept in good
repair and in a clean, sightly and healthy condition by Tenant
as aforesaid, Landlord or his agents may enter the same and
may replace the premises in the same condition of repair,
sightliness and cleanliness as existed at the date of execution
of this Agreement; the Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for all
expenses incurred by Landlord in replacing the premises in
that condition. If landlord is not promptly repaid, then rents
received will be applied first to reimburse Landlord for
