The very first rule of having a large breed puppy is to never let it
do anything when it weighs 20 lbs that you don't want it to do when it
weighs 100, or more, pounds. This has worked well for me.

Another advantage of getting large breed dogs as puppies is that they
never forget that you're bigger than they are, even when you're not.
