Default RE: my dog bit my daughter...

At 10 weeks of age, the pup was doing exactly what it would do if it was still with the rest of the litter. It was normal behavior.
Exactly the wayI see it! Puppies are called puppies for a reason.. I like to break the pup from biting at me first, andI would use a real bone to do it. I would set the bone down so the puppy could get it and reach down to see what the pup does. If she growls I would take it away. Then try it again a little later on. After a while your pup would reconize that not growling it would get to keep the bone. ThenI would slowly get your daughter around her when feeding provided you or another adult is there with her. After yopur pup gets older it will understand better but, by keeping at it she will learn not to bite..
