I have been keeping English bullies for quite some time they are very jealous dogs but very rarely have I ever seen a bully bite a baby. You are clearly a special case. You will need to remember that the bull is always a 2 year old and must be treated that way even if she is older. She needs her time with you as well as your baby does. Try using a can with pennies in it when she bites. I have to tell you it really does not sound clear about your bully biting. They are very maternal dogs even when the bull is a male. She or he may be trying to help and that would sound more like a bull really be pientient with your bull it sounds more like caring then biting you can email me if more info is needed. barrygeller@yahoo.com myself I have have several of mine around my grandchildren and never had issues feel free to contact me.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but like all the people before me, but I wouldn't keep the dog either. There's a big difference between puppy nips and bites that draw blood. That's serious! At 5 months, the dog should NOT be doing that.
I would NOT let the dog near your little girl, or other little kids, unless you want a great big law suit. You have to teach the dog that it's wrong to bite anyone.
There is a lot of information on the web, but I think you need some professional help from a trainer. If you're not willing to do that, get rid of the dog before he bites your child more seriously, or a neighbourhood child.

You need to separate them immediately! A 5 month old bulldog is still a baby but can do real damage. I can't tell from what you say what's happening, but this puppy is teething right now and has sore gums. Most puppies are pretty mouthy at this age, but this one is biting too hard. Does she bite you?
The choice is yours - if you keep her, you need to keep her away from your daughter while you're training her. You need to get really tough (and I don't mean hit the dog, that would make things worse), you have to tell her NO very firmly if she gets at all rough with you. If she tries to bite, say NO and give her something she can chew on. Does she only bite when she's playing and gets too excited? I don't know what the answer is but I'm thinking it's because of her age. Regardless, you need to keep the dog away from your daughter and if you can't get the puppy to stop this behaviour, you may need to take her to a shelter or contact your breeder and tell them the problem.

You have some good advice on people that have read your additional comments. I would like to add to it as an owner of two (intact) GSD males. The dog needs to learn that the child is over her in the pack hiearchy. The dog also needs to learn that the child needs to be reigned in too. At this point, I would not allow the two together without supervision from a responsible adult. The pup sounds like she is just getting too excited and one way she shows that is biting - common at this age. It is going to take time and energy. I would contact the the gentleman that offered help. He sounds knowledgeable in the bully breeds.
Remember, breathe!
Good Luck.

Are you out of your mind? After the first or second bite that dog should have gone back to the store where you bought it. Are you planning to wait until the dog rips off your daughter's face? Get real and get rid of the dog.

Get rid of the dog. What's more valuable to you, your daughter or your dog? Whose the leader you or your dog? Never leave them together unsupervised and watch the dog closely. The minute the dog starts to bite come down on him/her like the wrath of hell and get between your daughter and the dog. Whatever you do do not let this continue.

get obedience lessons NOW and keep the dog and child separate. A dog that bites will keep biting, and she will soon be big enough to do real damage. You child is more important than the dog, so if you can't correct it get rid of the dog.

You need to get rid of that dog for the safety of your child. The next bite could be on the face, leaving an irreparable scar!

You are allowing this to happen? You need to get rid of the dog. A person is more valuable than an animal. The first time that mutt would be gone.

Get rid of the dog. If the dog is that mean at 5 months, I don't think she will get any better.
