Great Dane

The Great Dane is one of the tallest breeds of dogs, lending them a regality of sorts. But other than the elegance and beauty of this beast it is also their size which can make them dangerous. Although attacks are rare, they need to be trained early on, and weighing in at over 100lbs. if they get out of control it can be near impossible to stop them, which makes insurance companies quite the opposite of fans of these great beauties.

Wolfdog

The beauty and majesty of these animals can hardly be denied, however, being ‘Wolfdogs’ their wild wolf tendencies are much higher than other domesticated dogs. Their instincts are more attuned to those that live in the wild, thus ready to kill if it wants to eat or if it feels threatened. And if this animal is kept in small, domesticated spaces for too long, problems may ensue. Insurance companies are well aware of these wild instincts with data to back it up, and so are often against people having them as pets.
