Some breeds are 'one man dogs' and others are happy to share their affections. Often you find that one person in a house (usually the woman!) feeds, exercises and generally cares for the family dog yet when the other half comes home he is straight to him for a fuss. I think its good for a dog to be affectionate to more than one person, although I am sure you will find when push comes to shove you will be the one the dog goes to.
At such a young age the puppy is still getting used to finding its own way in the world after being one of a pack in the litter. The more time spent training and socialising the more she will become tuned in to you.

my dog has done that, he was ment to be my dog but he abandons me and is totally attached to my mum when im the one who baths him feeds him walks him etc its so frustrating when i've done all the work with him but hedoes have his moments especially when its fireworks night he will come up to me and cuddle into meh im kind of like his safety blanket. your dog does love you of all but kind of likes a bit of attention off of everyone else.
Dogs are pack animals, and respond to a hierarchy system.
As a puppy, a dog will bond with anyone who gives him warmth and attention.
As he matures, he will realise the way the 'pack' is formed, and he will make sure he falls in line - this is usually by bonding with one - sometimes two - adults whom the dog senses are 'in charge'. It doesn't matter how the household is organised in human terms, the dog will decide in his own sense of things whom the 'top dog' is, and will ally himself accordingly.
It is the sense of pack identity that causes dogs to attack children ithout warning. The dog can feel that a child is pushing for a posityion that the dog feels is his, and he can, and will, fight for it. That is instinct, and natural to the dog's way of things - which is why these atacks come without warning or apparent provication.
Loyalty is earned and maintained by allowing your dog his own space within the group, and to be reminded of his own place when needed.
