I can guarantee you that she will become a legendary whiner. It's just like kids. If you are going to give up, do it right away, or she will learn that whining works, as long as she is very persistent.
As I've mentioned, Thor used to belong to my coworker. Every time I came into the office, I'd hear him make these heart breaking little whimpers to let his owner know he wanted to say hi to me. She'd hold out for anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes, but eventually she would give up and he'd come running over. So when I got him, I knew he'd developed a monster whining habit. Me, I'm like stone. He's tried whining with me - one of his favorite tricks was to drape himself along one side of his crate and cry like a damsel in distress - but he stopped it after a few weeks because it didn't work.
Now if he whimpers, I know something serious is up.
Good luck with everything! It's probably just puppy stuff she's grow out of. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
