Hi Terry
The neighbors like the dogs--beside the insurance was before we moved into this
place. It may be regional, but we were told we would have to pay higher rates
if we owned a German Shepard, a pit bull, a rothweiler, or a Doberman. And,
Dobe and chows are no harder to read than other dogs, really (at least if you
are a dog person). Dobermans do not appear friendly when their ears are
cropped--but just see one with a lop-eared or ears that don't stand--they look
very friendly. The cropping is done for more than one reason--alert, aloof
appearance being one. Many dogs have a bad "rap" when it is the owners who are
the problem not the breed of the dog as you know with owning a German Shepard.
But it is interesting to know that our part of the country may have different
regulations for insurance and something that may be worth looking into on our
part. So thanks for the info.
