not possible to insure working dogs in this country

pheasntstalker

Well folks was just wandering why no /hunting or shooting organisation don't do full ins cover for your dogs,ie for covering injury death vets fees'etc I know I posted this question before' but I've contacted every shooting/hunting org in ireland, and every pet insurance company there is here in ireland and none of them will insure springers or any working type dog even as. Pets I've emailed/called all of these companies even just telling them that I have pet springers but all companies stated as they are classed as. Workingclass dogs in genaral they don't ins these breeds of dogs ,has any of u had this or why can't u get your working dogs insured

Thanks for replies lads ' sorry I haven't got back to the thread as Im gathering funds for birr and a new laptop the old one finally packed in:rolleyes: regarding nargc I contacted them and the lad I
Spoke to stated they do not cover dogs anymore because no ins company would take on working dogs because of the enviroments they work in and are more than likely will get injured and because of the amount of claims in the past etc.and I checked with 123.ie not telling them or anyother ins company they were working. Dogs and all of them stated they wouldn't insure them because pets or not they are still working breeds, nargc is out anyway cos I'm not in a gunclub so I'll try that 123.ie again thanks all
