I have no idea about the breed but i would be very honest with the neighbours right from the start.
I don't think you can pinpoint specific "breeds" as being good or bad with children ALL dogs have the potential but maybe some are capable of greater damage.

I would tell the neighbours that you are worried following the recent news reports (make it sound like YOUR problem not theirs and i am sure they will be sympathetic).

Ask them if they can make sure the dog is supervised when your daughter is round their and see what happens. As recommended visit regularly and observe how they treat the dog, what is the dog like (bearing in mind puppies are very excitable whatever the breed).

But it is more important how they treat the dog. I am sure someone on here with more knowledge of the breed can tell you how they SHOULD be training the dog and what to look out for.

It's a tricky situation but only you can decide once you have got to know the dog. Make sure your daughter knows EXACTLY how to behave around the dog i found this recently as we just bought a dog and my son is 5 Get Dog Smart.

Hope this helps
