Well my brother’s dog be able to handle mine?

My brother has a 250 pound English mastiff, I haven’t been around this dog too much, but I’m curious how similar his dog would be to mine? I have a toy Chihuahua who loves aggressive play. Will my brother’s dog be able to handle the Chihuahua? She can really be quite dominating in terms of strength and temperament when playing.  she is a very very sweet dog but when she plays she loves to play like rough and tumble. And she honestly can really stand her own ground. My girl is pretty vicious (she is just playing).

For example when she has a rawhide in her mouth we know not to mess with her, and when she has a chew toy she absolutely obliterate it, throwing the toy across the room with stuffing everywhere. She really can hold her own, don’t even get me started when she plays tug with other dogs.

Also why are people saying that the mastiff could easily hurt or kill my dog? Couldn’t she do the same to him? I really mean it, she can hold her own ground and let other dogs know that she needs business. Believe me, my girl is a fighter.

That's enough. They are known as gentle giants but get this through your thick skull

The Science Behind the Bite: Mastiff’s Jaw Strength
Mastiffs are equipped with a robust and broad jaw. Their jaws are not just for show; they’re a testament to the strength they possess. When discussing bite force, we measure it in pounds per square inch (PSI). The average human bite force is around 120-140 PSI. In contrast, the Mastiff boasts a staggering bite force that ranges from 500 to 550 PSI, making it one of the strongest bite forces in the canine world.

our Chihuahua is pretty strong too. That’s the thing. And what do you mean in your other reply by the mastiff could shake his head or bite her? Our Chihuahua has a pretty mean bite, and I don’t really understand the shaking head apart. And her paws are pretty sharp too(we need to trim them). You’re saying our Chihuahua can’t kill the mastiff in an instant? She has quite a bit of surprisingly strength., I don’t think she would be a ragdoll. and she moves pretty quick too when she is in “attack mode”

@Scouser I’m confused why everyone keeps saying this

@Scouser OK sure but did you read the end of the post? My dog is a fighter. She has put other dogs in their place and she can dish out quite a bit. I have even seen her do quite a bit of damage before. I mean what could the mastiff do to my dog? I’m sure my girl can do the same to him.
