Does Ohio consider German Shepherds vicious dogs? I googled it but I can't seem to get a straight answer. I know some places won't give you homeowners but why. My GSD is amazing

no pitbulls have that reputation

Unless Ohio has a state statute forbidding insurers to refuse to write for "dangerous" dogs, then individual insurers can refuse to write a policy in Ohio where the homeowner has a GSD. Some will not even let you waive coverage. So check with your insurer.

which is sad because a true Pit Bull is sweet and is not human aggressive.

to the OP I don't know if Ohio considers GSD's "vicious", i guess either google it or ask a city counle member?

The only state wide BSL in Ohio is for "pit bulls". The home owner's insurance issue and the BSL issue are not the same though. I know an OH GSD breeder who lost her home owners insurance after years of no issues because the company changed their policy on GSDs.

Ohio Revised Code 955.22d It only applies to Pit Bulls Breeds.
