If we try playing with her on our lap she tries to run away to the floor and if we try to hold her she bites, growls and puppy barks. We try not to keep her outside after pee and poo so she understands she goes out to do business only and we don't let her roam around the house so she doesn't pee and poo anywhere. We try to play with her on the floor she runs away and if we try to catch her we get the growling and biting again. So we keep putting her back to her crate when she behaves this way and it becomes hard to deal with. Anything we can do before she becomes this aggressive and wild pet? We tried giving her toys to bite when she bites us but after 2 bites she'll get bored of the toy we even got the chill bone but no luck.
She is being a healthy playful pup. I think one thing you may want to consider is that you may start to have problems with her going to the bathroom if you make her come inside right after she is done. It is okay to let her play for a bit... or she may start trying to hold it longer so that she can play.

It is not okay to bite. Maybe she would be good with playing tug with you. How much time are you allowing her to play before being put in the crate? Have you tried to contact the breeder to ask what she liked playing with or some ideas from her/him..
