But your insurance company might increase your premiums simply because your dog is a blacklisted breed. It is also a little disturbing that the blacklist includes mixed breeds of one of the listed dogs.

And before that happened, Maryland surveyed other states with similar laws to get an idea of the impact of race-neutral liability on owners` insurance. Only one state said it explicitly prohibits insurance companies from blacklisting certain types of dogs, while the others allow it. All dogs and cats aged 4 months or older must have a rabies vaccination and a current district license. The rabies label provided by your veterinarian is NOT a county license – the license must be purchased separately.
