List Of The Most Dangerous Dogs: Insurance Dog Breed Blacklist

More than one third of all homeowner's insurance liability claims paid out in 2013 were related to dog bites.  The average claim was about $30,000, adding up to about $490 million for the year.  Insurance companies are concerned about these costs, so it has become common for them to blacklist certain breeds of dog.  While each company has a different list, the following fourteen breeds were the most common to be excluded from coverage:

1. Pit Bull Terriers
2. Staffordshire Terriers
3. Rottweilers
4. German Shepherds
5. Presa Canarios
6. Chows Chows
7. Doberman Pinschers
8. Akitas
9. Wolf-Hydribs
10. Mastiffs
11. Can Corsos
12. Great Danes
13. Alaskan Malamutes
14. Siberian Huskies
