That is a pickle. On one side you have your heart telling you to do it since your daughter would love a puppy, but I think you feel as I do and you are supporting a BYB by accepting this puppy. It's like you're telling that breeder what she is doing is A-OK. I know you've admitted fault of your own, and now you have a special needs pup on your hands. What your doing for Mac is noble, since you have accepted him and his... well you know.
I wouldn't do it. Especially since I have a nervous dog myself. After learning from a few YT breeders, personalities and dispositions are inherited. I was told my boy was coming from a lovely home, yet he is the biggest pile of nerves I've ever seen. I'm working with him as best as I can, but he hasn't completely settled into his "new home environment." (I've had him for almost 2 years)
You and your daughter will be better off in the long run with a female from a good breeder.
Good luck with your decision. That's going to be a tough one.
