You have no idea how much I hate saying this, but...
If Kerby is indeed 90% wolf, as you mentioned previously, I would be very, VERY careful with him around your little girl. The higher he content the wolfdog, the more of a prey drive they have. It's not absolute, but many a time the instinct will take over and they go for small children and/or pets.
I don't think you need to worry, though, as I doubt Kerby is a high-content wolfdog from his pictures. He's probably low, mid-content at most, or quite possibly none at all. I don't know where you got him, or what they told you, but it really looks like he's a cross between a belgian malinois.
I just had to say something... I've worked with wolfdogs a lot, and their either misrepresented, or someone unknowingly gets a pup with a wolf content they don't know how to handle, and I was concerned.

This is a good website for identifying wolfdogs: http://www.wolfpark.org/wolfdogs/Poster_section1.html
