At 8 weeks puppies are still learning how to be puppies. Chances are she's playing with you, I have 2 puppies, and they growl and bite when they play with each other. Because the pup is so young, she hasn't learned when play biting gets too rough. Try squalling everytime she bites too hard and gently push her away. When I got Titus at 8 weeks he did the same thing, now that he has a pal, 12 week old Phoebe, he's a whole lot better about it. She's teaching him when he bites too hard. Just have patience and let her know when she's biting too hard, chances are she's just playing.
