Primarily, I will describe certain breeds to my clients as not their tendencies but their abilities.

If you are the rare breed of us entrepreneurs which he says are 4% of people (sounds about right to me) than the things you will be draw to and be good at will be things like analyzing deals and inspiring people.

Often your insurance will not cover certain breeds of dogs against liability.

I don't really have urine issues as all the flooring are hard porcelain or ceramic tiles, not carpet or wood.The issues with dogs that I have personally experienced are ripped up sprinkler wires and valves in the yard, craters in the yard, ripped down window blinds and draperies, kitchen cabinet doors with hinges pulled off, interior doors or cabinet doors with corners chewed off, claw marks on baseboards and door trims, neighbors complaining about excessive barking, property maintenance or appliance repair or others trying to service the property hesitate to enter property due to hissing and barking aggressively, property insurance carrier's unannounced inspection requiring dog breed/vaccination/wellness records etc etc etc...So all things considered I have disallowed dogs but not cats. 

They probably want to know if it's a "dangerous breed" animal, which could increase your premium or cancel your policy.

Last thing, do you all restrict certain dog breeds because of your insurance policies? 

My pet addendum is dogs only, lists name, age, breed and requires copy of vet records showing up-to-date required rabies and any required state, city pet licensing info, states it is for pets listed only, no new ones allowed, no dogs under 1 year of age, breed restrictions, certify no previous aggressive behavior, and their renters policy has to have $300,000 minimum liability. 

If the cat is "fixed" a lot of the issues go away.Puppies never....Vicious breeds of dogs never.

Do not allow any aggressive breed dogs (allowing them on your property will automatically VOID your property insurance).My suggestion: Sell what you have and start over.The property attracts the tenant.
