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

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.

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

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.


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.

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.

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