I think the reason big dogs are usually more calm is because people take an effort to train them, because a 120 pound lab that wont listen and barks all the time is a problem.
Little dogs get away with growling yapping barking and being agressive because its "cute". You're just the kind of owner who will encourage their little dog to have manners, and it works.
I think it's more survivorship bias. Agressive big dogs are going to be targetted and put down more often, since they're more of a physical threat. Small dogs likely get passed over more often.
Also, well-behaved small dogs are maybe much more common than thought to be, but go unnoticed since they're quiet.
Survivorship bias is what I couldn't think of in my comment. Exactly. Its survivorship bias on the training, also. People will make more of an effort to train some huge dog not to snap or bite or bark because the consequences of not doing that are more dire for large dogs. People can get hurt more by a mastiff than a teacup chihuahua, which means they could be put down, so they make more of an effort to make them docile/obedient.
