People are trying to provide you with advice that you asked for.
Puppy pads are often easier to train a young puppy on and safer, small puppies will put anything into their mouths that they can... your puppy needs to have access to her potty place at all times... the best way to potty train them is to have them in an expen with the potty place on one side and the bed, food and water on the other side. Over time they want to do their business away from their food/bed and will automatically go to the other side to use the bathroom, then you can reward them for using the pad.
The breeder should not have been letting them go in their bed, she should have been starting to teach them to go somewhere else, so you will have a little more work cut out for you, as this puppy as already been taught that going in their bed is okay.
