  In this article, we investigate how quantum correlations behave for the
so-called Werner and pseudo-pure families of states. The latter refers to
states formed by mixing any pure state with the totally mixed state. We derive
closed expressions for the Quantum Discord (QD) and the Relative Entropy of
Quantumness (REQ) for these families of states. For Werner states, the
classical correlations are seen to vanish in high dimensions while the amount
of quantum correlations remain bounded and become independent of whether or not
the the state is entangled. For pseudo-pure states, nearly the opposite effect
is observed with both the quantum and classical correlations growing without
bound as the dimension increases and only as the system becomes more entangled.
Finally, we verify that pseudo-pure states satisfy the conjecture of
[\textit{Phys. Rev. A} \textbf{84}, 052110 (2011)] which says that the
Geometric Measure of Discord (GD) always upper bounds the squared Negativity of
the state.
