I was only cautious of germs from dogs when DS1 was to young to move (rolling started 1way at 5 months) or put things in mouth, DH regularly makes comments about dogs licking DS1 but I think I would rather a dog that loves him and puts up with him by licking him than one that is snappy.
As kids get older everything still goes in mouth for a long time So personally I would let your DD and dog develop a great friendship.
DS1 is 20 months old and never really been sick apart from colds and croup. He cuddles them, leans on them etc. Dogs not interested in DS2
