I don't know if this will help, but some professional dog trainers do "temperment testing". Have you inquired with the insurance company what documentation they would require to prove you have a "non-aggresive" dog. It may help to have it documented by a professional and your vet as well if he/she is willing. You will also have to have  the required fenced area of course, then surely, you should be able to find someone to insure you.

Here are some of Tink's baby picts from the first day I brought her home.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I do get a lot of questions about her but I have started just telling everyone she is my pound puppy sheep dog mix, because most people don't know what a komondor is. My research has found that they are actually pretty rare around here. As for her temperment it is definately Lab all the way. Endless energy, constant need for attention and she could fetch all day. The only thing I don't get is that we opened our pool two weeks ago (still too cold to swim) but she hasn't given it a second look. This kinda fails her in the Lab category. My husband and I will introduce her to it when it gets a little warmer and we can get in with her. She is not protective of her toys or her food, but I too am a little concerned with her taking on the "protective" traits of the kom. We handle her constantly when she is eating and we have people over regularly, especially kids and we try to take her out to a park or someone else's house once a week. Other than wanting to jump up on everyone (which we are tediously trying to cure) she is just a big baby.

She is the BEST! But an independent thinker. Training has been a challenge but she will graduate basic obedience next week. Here is a picture of her the day I brought her home at 8 weeks. She was 23 lbs. She didn't stay a puppy (in size) very long. She has been through three collars already and I got her in Feb. She gains about 5-8lbs per week and only eats about 4 cups a day. I don't know how she does it even the vet is amazed at her growth so far. I am wondering if this is typical for Koms? She still hasn't grown into those feet yet!
