I got Ben when he was 11 weeks old and he does the same things. I tell him "No bite!" in a harsh voice when he bites too hard. Then he will be a little more gentle for the next 2 minutes or so. Sometimes I will go get a toy to replace my fingers for a while.
I have a dachshund and a Jack Russell. The dachshund is old and she just growls at him when he gets too rambunctious. The Jack Russell is a big baby and runs and hides under the bed. I know he is driving them a little crazy so I make sure to give them breaks from Ben when needed. But I also know they will all grow into each other and become friends eventually. I am seeing some thawing going on already. We went through the same things when we brought the JR home as a puppy and before that our yorkie, Maggie (RIP). I would not worry too much about your new puppy -- using the discipline you are, she will learn and bond with Diesel in a gentler way.
Your little puppy is lucky to have found a home with you -- so young to leave momma! I am sure she will take a lot of TLC!
