Right now she's only being a puppy but it can change if it's not corrected.
Give her lot's of safe chew toys. No raw hides or nylabones.
Sit on the floor and play with her. Teach her what is right and what is wrong
by correcting her when she does bite you. Tell her no, firmly and put one of
her own chews into her mouth. They are smart, she will get it after being
corrected a couple of times. Buddy still growls when he's playing. It sounds
very threatening but is not. They constantly challange you are they grow up.
Just like children. Gently hold her mouth closed when she does bite you finger's or hand and say no biting each time. Praise her when she stops.
Belive me praise, praise, praise will do it. Good luck,
