When I bought my house I first applied for homeowners insurance with Geico (which is where I have my auto insurance) but they turned me down due to Leo's breeds (Rott/Chow). I ended up getting homeowners insurance from Nationwide and although I have to pay a slightly higher premium - there was not any issue of not covering me.


The thing I wonder about homeowners insurance is do they factor in the statistic on how homes with dogs are less likely to get burglarized?
