i've owned a pit bull. he would rather roll over and get a belly scratch over being aggressive.
and you are insane if you think a small dog owner should be responsible for a large dog such that they need to go out of their way to keep a small dog away from a big dog.
little dogs are no more stupid than big dogs. it's common knowledge the beagle is considered to be one of the smartest if not the smartest breeds.

I've never heard that at any point in my life and our trainer is world renowned in the working dog community & so are many who come to our kennel. Labs, some Rotts, Malinois, Border Collies, and GSD's are the only breeds they ever talk about with very high regard when it comes to intelligence. The rest they chalk up to "amateurs thinking obedience is intelligence". I just looked up your allegation & they're ranked 72nd.. IIRC, that's below pits and many other pretty dumb breeds.
If any dog is aggressive towards myself, my girlfriend/family, or my dogs, then that is the fault of either a) the owner, or b) that dog. If my dogs eat it for dinner(which I absolutely would try to avoid), then it shouldn't have been a moron and its owner shouldn't have been either. I absolutely despise dog violence, but the two times a dog has went after my male GSD(one time being a boxer - another being a pit), I let him show them who's boss then pulled away(neighbor's dogs.. they had to know who alpha was or it would've happened again).
Size has nothing to do with intelligence so your point there is pretty spot on, but there are very few small breeds that are intelligent. The smallest would probably be a border collie & they're fairly "medium" in the grand scheme of things. Yorkies are hit & miss with average intelligence.
