My youngest pup was this way. She was taken from her littermates at a much too early age and I think that was the main reason for this behavior. I was just VERY consistent that when playing with her I did not allow this behavior. I would offer her toys to chew on instead.
(I know it's hard when all they want to do is fight you.) My girl is not aggressive in nature, but when she plays, she is the one who starts the growling and barking.
Proper playing rules and manners are things the mother teaches her litter. Cooper did not get these lessons, sounds like your pup may not have either. Now, you have to be the mommy to teach these lessons.

As for breeding, please research, research, research before making a decision to do this. Too many people breed for the wrong reasons and we see our shelters and rescues overpopulated with superrrr cute dogs.
