There are just some things you can't do with a big dog...

Hahaha!  you are all just too funny    and have been so entertaining.  Love the comments and can relate to the big dog comments. 
I've had 2 danes, Lady and Katie and an Irish Wolfhound, Samson and a Neapolitan Mastiff, Broducci and a Chow Chow, Brutus.  My children grew up with big dogs, my grandchildren are growing up with big dogs and we all think small toy dogs are annoying.
