Yes you can. Your best defense is make a condition of tenancy in your lease that your tenants carry an HO-4 (renters policy) including liability insurance at the highest limits available. You also want an endorsement to the policy naming you as an insured. All insurers exclude certain dog breeds. Ownership of an excluded breed makes the tenant uninsurable. Make a condition of your lease also exclude these breeds as they are uninsurable. If they are uninsurable they do not qualify to be a tenant. This is not considered discrimination.
You also want to make sure you carry proper liability limits.
