In one case the cops had to shoot the dog to get the guy's hand out of the dog's mouth. Once they "go off" it's too late. In every case, the owners said the dog never displayed such behavior and was a great pet.
Some companies give a break for a mixed breed. I'd leave the Pitbull to the back end of the description.

Liability insurance
Dog owners in the United States can be held legally liable for injuries inflicted or caused by their dogs. In general, owners are considered liable if they were unreasonably careless in handling or restraining the dog, or if they knew beforehand that the dog had a tendency to cause injury (e.g., bite); however, dog owners are automatically considered liable if local laws hold an owner strictly liable for all damage caused by their dog, regardless of carelessness or foreknowledge of a dog's tendencies. Homeowners and renters insurance policies typically provide liability coverage from US$100,000–300,000 for injuries inflicted by dogs;[63] however, some insurance companies limit their exposure to dog bite liability claims by putting restrictions on dog owners that they insure. These restrictions include refusing to cover dog bites under the insurance policy, increasing insurance rates for homeowners with specific breeds, requiring owners of specific breeds to take special training or have their dogs pass the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen test,[64] requiring owners to restrict their dogs with muzzles, chains, or enclosures, and refusing to write policies for homeowners or renters who have specific breeds of dogs.
Restrictions can be by city as well. With Cali being Cali, I'd imagine they are on an outlaw list....
Unless they crossed over the border in search of a better life. Then they get full citizenship and get to vote... twice.MACS,
