YES. but it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog. the bigger they are, the harder they fall, but they also swing harder too.

Mark Twain. http://www.quotedb.com/quotes/1374 It was actually Dwight D. Eisenhower.
He meant that courage, tenacity and the will to fight or overcome obstacles are not limited by physical size but by "heart," or spirit. Twain was referring to people as well as dogs.
This phrase means that success is not dependent on physical size, but rather on determination, courage, and effort. It emphasizes the importance of inner strength and resilience in overcoming challenges.
Billy Coleman's favorite saying in "Where the Red Fern Grows" is "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." This saying reflects his determination and resilience in facing challenges and obstacles.

Depends on the dog's breed and size. If he's big enough (medium-large, like that of a coon-hound which has been bred to hunt and even fight racoons), then it's likely that the dog would win.
The rottweiler would win the fight. A staff dog does not have strong and big jaws like a rottweiler nor a larger size.
