Dog Breeds - Alano Espanol

Return to Breed List

The Alano Espanol is naturally dominant towards other animals, but is obedient and protective towards its owner. This breed has exquisite climbing capabilities, and can jump great heights and run long distances at fast speeds. The Alano Espanol is not a temperature sensitive breed, and can adapt to living indoors or outdoors, but prefers outdoors. This is an ancient breed, believe to originally be used for herding wild cattle, guard and defense duties, and big game hunting. Prior to the 19th century they were used for war and in bullfights, which has since been legally banned. The Alano Espanol is known for having an extremely effective and desctructive jaw bite. Their obedient nature has always been a huge advantage for owners using this breed for hunting as they obey commands to release prey very well.

I wanted to write to let you know how thrilled I am that I got both of my dogs covered a little over a year ago. Within a month of moving, Buzz, our big 90 lb baby, tore both of his ACL's. After relocating and starting a new business, we were looking at two surgeries, for $6000.00 total. I was freaking out, slowly our down payment on a home was widdling away. I remembered I had insurance, submitted my first claim and received my first $2000.00 check within two weeks!! Well that was good because while Buzz convalesced from his first surgery we took his sister out so she wouldnt overstimulate him. Guess what happened to her knee? She blew it out. She had to have the same surgery. PetCare Insurance was truly a God send. The customer service is thoughtful and the claims department is thorough. I did a lot of research on pet insurance and I can't endorse PetCare enough.
