We have recently received a notice from our insurance company cancelling our home owners insurance. They have given us two reasons. The first is distance is too far from a fire station. In actuality we have two fire stations within 3 miles of the house.
The other reason is the presence of 10 Basset Hounds.
The insurance comapny is Met Life (yes the Snoopy company). In the forty years that I have owned Basset Hounds I have never filed a claim related to the dogs.
The policy does not state an exclusion for dogs other than those that are considered to be aggressive. If prople out ther have Met Life homeowners I would suggest finding a new insurance company.
Meanwhile we will be complaining to the Washington State Insurance commissioner and scrambling to find new hoem owners insurance.
My friends with the Am Straffs said that it could happen to anybody and i guess they were right.
