No way. Too much of a niche audience. It'll never make it big.
I met the guy who did the design for Scooby Doo. Iwao Takamoto. His wife was a family friend of my dad. Turns out the way they designed Scooby was to look at all the characteristics of a "quality" great dane...and give him the opposites. Hence the floppy ears, sagging back, etc.
True story.
