Where can you live with a pit bull in maryland?

Montgomery County... and anywhere else, really.

To my understanding they are banned from pg? And most landlords ... ( trying to rent a town home or sfh) won't rent ?....

Not in PG and check the neighborhood in MOCO some post signs that they're not allowed.

I live in Downtown Silver Spring. I have seen some pits and mixes in the apartments and parks around here. These are pets, gentle dogs, family dogs, not fighting dogs.

Oh I know... But it seems like every place I go they say no.

Try apartment buildings on Thayer Avenue, Easley Street

Also check with your insurance. The reason so many apartment complexes don't allow them is that landlords have difficulty getting property insurance. Homeowners have this problem as well. Most insurance companies will drop you if they find out you have a Pit Bull or they will void coverage if they find out (after you make a claim) that you have a Pit Bull.

The only place I know of where there are local government restrictions is PG County. And even then, I have still seen dogs at the PG County shelter that look a lot like Pit Bulls but are listed as a "terrier mix."

We are homeowners.. And have State Farm... And as a renter I would be willing to pay additional rental insurance.

Your insurance will go up and your neighbors will freak out. We backed out of a house because the neighbor seemed a bit crazy, his fence was old and falling down and the pit bull was always out front barking.

It's not a matter of paying additional insurance. Most insurance companies won't cover you at all if they know you have a pit bull. Call your state farm agent.

FYI, State Farm has a company policy that they do not discriminate by breed.

I've got State Farm and when I called to let them know about the dog we adopted, they said it didn't matter what breed the dog was, our rates would remain the same.

What if you call is a Staffordshire Terrier or a mixed breed? Who knows that you have a pure-blood pit?

OMG!!!! Seriously! I would certainly care as your neighbor and pitch a holly hell if I found out.
