is that true for all landlords' insurance? If so then I am VERY lucky I have a roof over my head.

To be quite honest, my oldest boy, Byron, would quite happily live outside (especially with all this snow) but being the responsible dog owner that I like to think I am - I won't let him! And he sure as hell isn't going to be allowed to sleep outside as I know he'd dig a little hole to curl up and sleep in!!

These are honestly some of the things my friend got told about her breed from prospective landlords!

I wish people wouldn't make snap judgements about dogs and there owners. Each case no matter what its about should be treated as an individual.
My puppy will grow into a great dog and i hope you find your prefect place.

What was the point in asking me what type of dogs I have then?!?!
Had a breakthrough elsewhere though. I phoned up abot another property and when asked what dogs I had, I simply replied "two huskies, they're medium size dogs, I just thought I'd say as so many people seem to think they're huge and destructive"
She phoned me back about 20 minutes later and said she'd spoken to the landlady and she's happy to accept the dogs as she's a petowner herself.

Sometimes the daft preconceptions can work for us...
... When I was looking for a place with Selkie, Pharoah and Jackjack, I described them as a 'white snowdog a skinny one and a little one"... Never mentioned breeds But hopefully you have found a place now
Good luck
