She probably came from a puppymill. Missouri is the Puppy Mill Capital of the United States. Have you checked the USDA list for her breeder's name?

The USDA requires breeders not to sell puppies before eight weeks of age. The moment they turn eight weeks, they are loaded up and sold.
Puppies taken from their mom and littermates miss important lessons in socialization including bite inhibition. Puppymill puppies have very little human contact so socialization is even more difficult.
You will have to teach her those lessons yourself. Here's a good article on bite inhibition.
