Brewmaniac - if they ask the question, you have to answer honestly or it could negate all of your coverage, not just dog bites. It's called insurance fraud, and "failure to disclose" is one of the few reasons that companies can cancel homeowners insurance.
While I've got my insurance hat on, let me point out that the list of dogs varies from company to company. Each company that makes one adds breeds to their list based on past history. The reason for a dog making or not making the list is the potential for loss and could have nothing to do with the perceived aggressiveness of the breed but everything to do with the average size. Larger dogs cause more damage - it's simple physics. A small aggressive dog won't cause much damage to anyone but the smalled child, but a large enough dog could kill an adult. When you're the one who has to write the check for the policy limits, you owe it to your stockholders to do everything you can to prevent that from happening. If you don't like it, change insurance companies. There are lots of them out there.
