If I had sighthounds, which I like a lot, I would definitely insure as they break comparatively easily and tend to do sighthound things at warp speed.
You're not wrong there. That said, by far and away the most common problem with sight hounds is skin wounds. Fragile skin and thin fur. They can be really quite horrific if your dog is unlucky. They're otherwise pretty healthy and sturdy. Perhaps not including Italian Greys which might as well be made of talc.

This explains why premiums are high, inherently unhealthy breeds which have been over-bred due to demand/fashion/ prices/show standards.
