If you went to a "reputable breeder" and your child tried to hit and kick her puppies and she is still willing to consider selling you a dog she needs to stop breeding IMMEDIATELY!
As for your child behaving this way you need to consider parenting classes or counseling. I have raise 3 children and they would have never been allowed to raise a hand (or foot) to any living creature.
I
seriously think that we are once again being played for fools!
