I call "BS" on the "Big dogs kill little dogs" nonsense.  Might be true if two strange dogs meet.  But a now-retired co-worker had a Yorkie that lorded over a Golden Retriever - they were best buddies.  Both are now in 'doggy heaven'.
She now has a Lab she rescued as a puppy one dark and stormy night, then later acquired two JRT females.  Those little mistreated JRT girls were understandably skittish of the Big Dog at first - now, he's their doting big brother and protects them.  And they know it!  Any trouble, they run up under Big Brother!  

I once knew a woman who worked for the SPCA - they are a goon squad.  Totally agenda-driven Libtard Whackos.......
