Default Does your terrier live up to their name!?

Hi there

Tia is nearly 11 weeks old now; and she seems to be growing into a little terrier, a cute terrier albeit.

She attacks and has 'fights' with all her toys, even her little boyfwrend that I brought for her to cuddle (toy/teddy bear dog); she prefers to beat him up lol. She will bite his neck and shake him aggresively. When I play get her boyfwrend and play with her 'attack' her back she gets really worked up - like its a real fight Even her squeaky ball, I think she thinks its an animal that she has to destroy.

Also with me; if I am cleaning her face etc she will open her mouth to bite me, but if she does manage to, she doesn't actually bite to hurt me; she;s quite gentle.. or maybe thats because she only has tiny tiny teeth, which don't have the potential hurt!?

I was wondering whether this is normal behaviour especially considering she is a terrier; or should I be seeking to stop this sort of behaviour as she is only 11 weeks old and I don't want her to become an aggresive dog.

Any suggestions, comments, tips, stories etc, very much appreciated
