Yesterday I asked what should/how to stop her from fluff pulling,grabbing him etc all said to get rid of him and let the breeder re-home him.
I love this puppy and have known him since we was born, he was the pick of the litter just like his mum.
Should I bring him home daily so she (my little girl) gets use to him being around along with one of the breeders dogs to keep puppy happy and away from her?
My baby girl is use to older pups and dogs and never pulls or prods them and we had the litter home for a few afternoons and she did not bother about them, It was not until Toby came home that she harassed him non-stop and started pushing me away, she knows that she's being naughty but laughs when Toby yelps.
More info please…
Is your “baby girl” a person or a dog?

You definitely do not need to get rid of him just because of your daughter. Just make sure to supervise their playing together and let both your daughter and the puppy know when they are being to rough with one another. Kids are never to young to learn how they should react to animals, and this could be a great opportunity for your daughter to get used to dogs at an early age. Never leave them alone together and just make sure the puppy isn’t jumping or nipping at her. Maybe take your daughters hand and help her pet the puppy and help her learn that she needs to be gently, tell her things like nice puppy, or be nice to the doggy. She might try to pull the tail or things like that but just make sure she knows it is not nice to pull puppy’s tail. She will learn to understand and the puppy will also learn to be gentle around your daughter.

If your daughter is pulling fur and being nasty to YOUR dog you do NOT bring a second dog into the home. Period. That will just make things all the more chaotic.
The problem will not go away if you do not correct it head on, so bring YOUR dog home and bring on the time out’s for your daughter. Supervise their time together and correct any rough petting or pulling. Separate them when you cannot watch them.
Again – post this is the parenting section for help on how to discipline your daughter.
