The Maryland Insurance Department went to Court to strike down dog breed-specific insurance restrictions. Some Maryland insurance companies still try to enforce such restrictions on their Homeowners and Liability policies. Those restrictions are directed at the owners of breeds such as Rottweilers, “pit bulls” and “shepherds”. Any Maryland homeowner receiving a cancellation letter from their insurance company that would exclude insurance coverage based solely on the breed of dog that they own, and if their dog has not bitten anyone, or a claim been filed against their policy, the homeowner should contact the Maryland Insurance Administration immediately at 410-468-2000 or 1-800-492-6116 and file a written protest. Breed discrimination against policy holders by insurance companies is illegal in Maryland.
