They are four years old now and the most adorable, loving, non-vicious dogs on the planet. I appreciate that the rest of the world has an opinion about the breeds .... but, again, I prefer to go with my experience. That's just me.
Your dogs are Akita-Chow-Something mixes, right? The insurance company is right. Those breeds are biters. Statistically speaking (which is how the insurance company looks at it), those dogs have too high a risk of biting someone. You lucked out, and you are in a very small minority.


BTW, your previous post is phrased in such a way that suggests you dismissed the link I provided without bothering to read it. When I said Vista was a resource hog, that it was not an opinion but a fact (when compared to XP). In the link I provided, the author discusses the facts of how Vista functions. He did not provide opinions; he provided verifiable data.

To say you like Vista after reading that article is like saying you like DRM. It makes me wonder if you actually read the article, or if understood what you read. (And I know you are smart enough to understand it.)
