I can't give enough thumbs up to you here!
Absolutely adorable dog and I couldn't agree with you more about training. I worked at a dog kennel for 3 years and I prefer big dogs to little dogs for the exact reasons you said. People don't train them! Why bother to teach your dog to sit, stay, come when you can just pick it up and carry it everywhere?Sheesh... I've seen many little dogs though that were trained like a dog should be and they were wonderful dogs.
And those pictures are too cute!
