Caraway now joins about 200 cities and towns throughout the United States that restrict or prohibit
ownership of certain breeds of dogs, according to the American Canine Foundation in Belfair, Washington, an organization dedicated to fighting against such legislation.
Additionally, if a housing provider's insurance carrier would cancel, substantially increase the costs of the insurance policy or adversely change the policy terms because of the
presence of a certain breed of dog or a certain animal, it would be found that this imposes an undue financial and administrative burden on the housing provider.
But the continuous
discrimination of certain breeds of dogs that partly is attributed to some of the biased media and people who don't get the facts on dogs in general and fuel the hysteria about certain dogs is unfair.
Also, if you are considering buying a pet, check with your insurance agent first, since
owners of certain breeds of dogs (e.g. Rottweilers, Pit Bulls) may have a harder time getting insurance.
