OK, a couple points - first of all, it's not the STATE that makes the list, it's the insurance companies.
I've never seen Alaskan Malamutes on the list, but SOME insurance companies include German Shepherds.
MOST include Pitt Bulls (aka American Staffordshire Terriers), Chows, Akitas, Rottweilers, wolf and wolf hybrids up to 1/8 wolf, and Dobermans.
Now, most importantly - if you're shopping around for homeowners insurance in Florida, give it up. NO ONE is writing new policies in Florida, except for the state fund. If you currently HAVE a voluntary carrier writing your homeowners insurance, it would be worth it to board out your dogs on a farm for a couple years, see if the insurance situation clears up, and keep your current policy.
It's not about dog liability - it's about property coverage. And tomorrow is the first day of hurricane season.
