How old is she?
There is a thing called phantom or false pregnancy.

She is 4.she has never had puppies,i rescued her from an elderly lady who was taking her to the pound(almost certain death for the breed)she will take food out of my hand,but growls when i enter the room.she has not tried to bite me,but i have kept my distance.how long can such a condition last?

It is not uncommon for an intact female as they reach full maturity to start to show alpha status. I would recommend she be spayed first then look to some training. She needs to know her place and it is below you in the order.

Oddly enough she is submissive to my son.i am planning to have her spayed.the last thing i want is a house full of pit bulls.one at a time is good.i have my 87 year old mother here with me and she has alzheimers.funny thing the dog is so gentle with her.i also have custody of my 9 year old granddaughter.and again the dog adores her.i am just fond of the breed,they are so misunderstood.she is usually timid
