I too have a Taz. But he's a Brussels Griffon.

I don't leave the dogs out together unsupervised. I don't let them get too rough with him, or vice versa (because that little dog LOVES to get the bigger dogs all riled up). And I immediately stop them if they do something I can see ending badly someday with him.

My 3 bigger dogs have also been exposed to small dogs since they were pups, and learned how to be gentle (well, gentle enough) with them. I always rewarded them for being gentle and calm with little dogs, and I guess that and me watching them like a hawk has paid off. But obviously I'll never let my guard down.
