I had not heard that. But I like it, especially with some insurance companies banning certain breeds of dog. I once spoke to Dobe rescue. They had so many dogs coming in they were forced to put dogs down for lack of space. Insurance companies are forcing Dobe owners to give up the dogs. We have State Farm and they don't care one way or the other near as I can figure. I have even taken one dog at a time to the local office. They get such attention!!! sheila DaniaKarloff@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 8/27/2006 4:05:57 P.M.

She said that her insurance company will insure households with ANY breed of dog as long as they are CGC certified. Have any of you heard of this? Actually, it is a smart move by the insurance companies - any dog owner that takes the time to train their dog to pass CGC certification is proving that they are responsible dog owners and that will lower the chances of a lawsuit.
