I am looking for a small breed dog for my 2 year old daughter before you tell me Qaws we already been there but she is very scared of all the big dogs and the puppies they had was already big and she didnt want to come near them.
I would suggest waiting a while untill your daughter is ready. If she is scared of the dogs at QAWS, no matter how big or small then I think now is not the right time. I adopted a 9 month old from QAWS the day after the fire and we love him to bits.
The temp accomodation he was in is doha vets, they have been fab with me and my new dog and I can tell you they have small dogs and puppies, or they did 2 days ago. If you are dead set on getting a dog then I would suggest going down there and letting your daughter see them and see how she feels. Good luck.
Sorry, I think your daughter is too young to "have" a puppy. Wait until she is older and understands how to behave with animals - especially if she is fearful now.
My suggestion, try to make an acquaintance with a family who already has a dog. Then she can learn how a family pet has to be treated properly - plus, you don't have to spend any money or take it to be spayed/neutered/vaccinated.
Once she learns how to behave around animals (little kids are "grabbers" especially at 2 year of age) both she and your new pet will be much happier. Remember, dogs can't talk, they can only express their feelings through body language, barking, running and hiding, and - as a last resort to protect themselves, biting.
Teach your child first, then get a pet. You'll all be much happier.
