How have you done pet screening?

[Emory Clayton]

What is your process for screening pets? Successes / failures? This is my first go at pet screening. I'm using a service called 'PetScreening' where the tenant fills out an application on their pet (birth date, shots, bite history, etc) and based on the answers given a 'fido score' is given to help the Landlord figure out the risk associated with the pet and the reasons why the score was given. I've run into my first issue, in that, the potential tenant has a mixed breed, no surprise there. The issue stems from the tenant having to guess/figure out what breed their dog is if the dog is mixed. If the pet is not a full breed, the screening process ask what the primary/dominate breed is followed what is the secondary breed. I don't have any restrictions on pets with the exception of 2 things: no dogs under the age of 1, and breeds listed on my insurance policy that are not accepted.

Quote from @Emory Clayton:

I've been using PetScreening for years and I'm familiar with the dominant-breed question. The veterinarian may list the dominant breed on the animal's records.

The dominant breed is typically the one the dog most closely resembles. #12 is the best example.
