Along the same lines as the article, i heard that some airlines were proposing a ban on transporting certain breeds. Pits, Rotties, and Chows were the 3 big ones.

I agree with the gentleman interviewed from State Farm. I've known some rotties who would prefer to sit in your lap than look at you funny. I've also known a few yorkies and shih tzus who have been horrible, vicious, aggressive dogs.

I think in the matter of insurance and anything regarding dog bites, etc, they all need to be taken on an individual case by case basis. If I go up to your dog, antagonise it, tease it, pull its tail, ears etc, and it bites me and I sue you, I should be the one at fault. I've found that most (not all!) dogs will not bite or attack unprovoked.
