I would need more of a background on how you are training her, etc, to understand WHY she is doing this exactly. But if a dog is peeing on your bed... first things first: DON'T let the dog sleep on your bed. She's obviously not potty trained yet so I wouldn't take the risk. Crate her at night or put her somewhere where she cannot get on the bed. She will probably whine and cry if she is used to sleeping with you guys but you can't give in. Her scent is obviously on the comforter now so she will continue this habit unless you wash really thoroughly to get the urine smell out (dogs can still smell it- even when humans can't)

Peeing can also be a sign of showing dominance or sometimes if dogs are angry, sad, upset, they will pee. She may be trying to dominant you guys and tell you she is the pack leader, so she goes and squats on your bed and marks her territory. It is NOT just a male thing to do. Try to show her your boss. Work on training and obedience with her - it always makes for a better dog. If you let us know what training you have done with her thus far and your method of correction when she potties somewhere she is not supposed to, I could help more.

I really would hate for you to "give her away." SO many dogs end up homeless, in shelters, or euthanized because the OWNER never took the time to train their dog and the dog became out of control, leaving them no other option. There is always time to train your dog, no matter what age, and yours is still so young and able to learn. Some dogs just take more time than others.
