The process is a bit difficult for little dogs with families and the bigger dogs were not an option with their unknown histories,. I have adopted larger older dogs and they have proved unfit for families with kids. Nearly every one of them had agression or nippiness towards kids.

I'm trying to understand your post, but having trouble. Are you reffering to rescuing little dogs w/ families and rescuing bigger dogs w/ unknown histories? Because unknown histories can come w/ any dog, regaurdless of size. And a lot of bigger dogs are good w/ kids. Toy breeds have a reputation for being snippy. Not all are like this of course, though. You can't judge a dogs aggression on their size though. Don't let the large dogs you adopted make up your mind on all large dogs, a lot of them, atleast majority of the ones I know are great w/ kids!
Actually, Rocky snaps a lot when he's eating or humping something, he can get pretty nasty, so were working on that w/ him. My bigger dogs, excluding one, have not been as bad as him when it comes to eating or playing w/ toys.
