German Shepherds are way up there on the list, which is why they are often one of a dozen or so breeds like pit bulls, Rottweilers and Chows, that many home insurance companies won’t insure against if you have one in the home. I was lucky that AAA home insurance does not “ban” GSDs from coverage under their home policies, but many other companies do ban them.
The biggest difference is that GSDs will give you one or two brutal bites and then if they don’t feel threatened, they tend to break off. Pit bulls tend to press the attack while you are beating them on the skull with a baseball bat. Pit bulls are the ticks of the dog world - if you pull them off the head stays locked on to your body. OK, just kidding but the point is, they will tend to press the attack and keep biting your neck and face until they are sure you are dead. GSDs don’t do that.
hmmm... thank you for that information. I just gave my experience that the pitbulls were perhaps easier to make “nice”? Because GSDs require a lot more effort, methinks...
