We also met a little Cockapoo who could not possibly have weighed more than 10 pounds and she was also 11 months old. Peanut has some special air about her, much bigger dogs play with her, respect her, she doesn't get hurt, when they are too rough she lets them know and they heed her. It's quite remarkable. I just watch carefully. I'm more worried about mine being too clumsy than too rough with little ones.
