I don’t live in California, but this hit close to home for me. I just bought a house in March, and at the time I didn’t have a dog. My insurance agency, out of nowhere, dropped my insurance (no questions asked) because they saw a pit bull in my yard. Turns out my neighbor has a pit bull, and it came into my yard. I was able to get the decision appealed, but I was blown away that they’d actually sent someone to spy on me. Be careful out there!

Also, obligatory and sarcastic: Land of the Free!

Or, like, living in an area that’s susceptible to wildfires. Which is pretty much anything outside of a major urban center in CA.

Yeah, it's not like they need more excuses than they already have to drop insurance plans.

What if your dog is a stray and you have no idea what their breed is?

DNA kits exist when you need it, for now I would plead ignorance or "mixed"

Yeah but breed is only loosly associated with dna.
