Most any dog can hurt a baby or toddler. I have a sweet mutt and beagle mixes and I still try to keep space between her and the dogs as much as possible. Supervise them when they’re around her. Mine are older so they are more chill but still prone to spurts of wildness. They are food aggressive because she feeds them and they trail her after both my kids for scraps. So there’s times when they get downright wild with each other but they always avoid the kids in the madness. Son will be 8 soon. Daughter just turned 1
A puppy may view her as a playmate for a while but it you actively stimulate and train the dog it will learn to steer clear for the most part. And when your kid gets up and moving they will play together again. I know they will herd but i don’t know how serious their nip is.
I wouldn’t be worried about that breed spazzing out and attacking so if it does nip way too aggressively at some point and can’t be corrected offload it to this other party. My kids both grew up like this and they both love the dogs and aren’t scared if them in any fashion
