Well considering the thread is 2 1/2 years old, her puppyhood is over <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, I just ignored the guarding, I didn't want to stress her out much within just a couple of days of getting her, and after 3-4 days of being with us she never growled again.
She matured into a wonderful dog, she is super confident, her nerves could not get any better, and tons of drive and aggression.
Anyway, my advice for anyone with a brand new puppy - give him/her a week or so to settle in before you start getting too worried about behaviors like this! After a week or so with us she never guarded her food or toys again.
My new pup (3.5 months old now) is proving to be much more of a handful but I have learned a lot in the last couple of years and I feel like I'm up to the challenge <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My bitch is 2 years old now is acts protective with new bones. She will give out a slite grow, with a high pitch bark and grab it and walk away with it, SOMETIMES. I never take the bone away from her. From day one I have tought her a couple of commands that maybe useful in some peoples eyes and dumb in others. The two commands are "leave it" and "drop it". When she acts like this towards anything I tell her to drop it, which she always does!, and then leave it, which she ALWAYS DOES! Then I walk up to it and she will walk away from it as I walk towards it and I pick it up and take it. Thats what I do and it works for me, when I need to.
