On the last posting here - years ago I had a purebred Rottweiller. She was a beautiful girl - 125 pounds of muscle and very gentle. We put her through training and she became a therapy dog for our local hospital. Around that time we bought a house and the homeowner's insurance asked us if we had any dogs. I told them yes - two, a Cocker Spaniel and a Rottweiller. They stated that they were denying me homeowner's insurance because of the Rottweiller. I told them that she was a registered pet therapy and was approved to ride in the cabin of an airplane and they were denying me insurance?! They backed down and covered us.

Here is what I found on Utah service dog laws...I don't think that they can restrict ANY service dog, no matter what the breed....I'm surprised that they did not check on this to begin with..
§ 62A-5b-104. Right to be accompanied by service animal--Security deposits--Discrimination--Liability--Identification
(1)(a) A person with a disability has the right to be accompanied by a service animal, unless the service animal is a danger or nuisance to others as interpreted under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. 12102:
(i) in any of the places specified in Section 62A-5b-103; and
(ii) without additional charge for the service animal.
(b) This section does not prohibit an owner or lessor of private housing accommodations from charging a person, including a person with a disability, a reasonable deposit as security for any damage or wear and tear that might be caused by a service animal if the owner or lessor would charge a similar deposit to other persons for potential wear and tear.
(c) An owner or lessor of private housing accommodations may not, in any manner, discriminate against a person with a disability on the basis of the person's possession of a service animal.
(2) A person who is not a person with a disability has the right to be accompanied by an animal that is in training to become a service animal:
(a) in any of the places specified in Section 62A-5b-103; and
(b) without additional charge for the animal.
(3) A person with a disability is liable for any loss or damage caused or inflicted to the premises by the person's service animal.
(4) A person accompanied by a service animal is encouraged to identify the animal by exhibiting one or more of the following:
(a) the animal's laminated identification card;
(b) the animal's service vest; or
(c) another form of identification.
