Will the mastiff be OK?

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.

You can't be that naive.🤦‍♂
The big dog could accidentally swallow your tiny dog.
I'm going to assume this question is an odd try at trolling.

@UnderLockDown but read the post again. My dog can definitely hold her own. And I’ve seen her do some pretty good damage before. Are you sure you’re not exaggerating when you say swallow her? She can put up a pretty good fight as well. I’ve seen her put other dogs in their place

@Cuzzzzinkaty] To put it lightly, my 55 pound Heeler could end your chihuahua in the blink of an eye. They aren't inclined to, but as far as physical ability...😵
A dog that weighs in at 250 could accidentally harm your dog, even if they intend to be gentle.

@UnderLockDown but what could your dog do? I mean seriously you should see what she can do to her toys. And I’ll just say it again that she has done some pretty good damage before. And like I said in those tug games she literally gives it everything, she definitely can 100% hold her own if something was to happen
