Your dog is toy aggressive, just like some dogs are food aggressive. You'll have to work with your dog to show her that the toys do not 'belong' to her. If she is not aggressive to you, then anytime she growls at another dog over a toy or runs away with it - go over and take it from her. It will slowly show her that she is not the boss of all the toys. It can be corrected, but be sure to watch that her behavior doesn't escalate into harming other dogs.

She is being dominant over the other dogs and her toys! When one of the dogs come into your home with her there start playing with all of them and if she doesn't want to play don't worry she will! And if she takes action against them take the toys away and put her in her room and tell her NO "firmly"!

May sound funny but think of the dogs affection toward you, If you`ve bought it toys and things it`ll protect what belongs to him/her. I now have four dogs and they share because they were bought up with each other yet if another dog comes towards them they`ll act like a pack and defend one another or their toys... Primal instinct of a dog.. Technically dog`s are not as domestic as you may first think, treat them right and they`ll behave treat em bad and they may become more aggressive....

Your dog is resource guarding. You might be able to break your dog of this by retraining her in a behavior you would like but, dog trainer or behaviorist would be able to tell you more.

Dogs do not believe in "sharing".

My God, you are gorgeous.
Your dog simply is territorial - they protect what is theirs and theirs alone....
