Excerpts fom the Seattle PI. The list of banned breeds includes a lot
more than the obvious suspects (Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman) - also
includes Staffordshire Terrier, Husky, Alaskan Malamute, etc.

=====================================

Some insurance companies have developed lists of dog breeds they
restrict from coverage based on their potential for danger.

A little more than half of the member companies of the Washington
Insurance Council have breed bans.

In a non-renewal letter, the insurance agent said it was "a very angry
German shepherd dog," apparently because the animal barked at an
appraiser.

Allstate doesn't provide insurance for a household that has more than
three dogs, only one of which can be a German shepherd or Doberman
pinscher. The company keeps a list of restricted breeds and will not
write or renew policies of homeowners who keep those breeds.
