jaded

My dog brandy is a little under 6 months old (8 days) and she shows a little bit of food and toy aggression but only with the dogs in my house so far not with people at all.

it doesn't happen all the time but once in awhile she'll see her adopted sister with a toy she wants and get into fight mode for a split second to get it away from her.

also she tries to give kisses but she like lunges at my face trying to kiss me but she smackes closed mouth against my face so hard the teeth hit it along with her tongue, is there a way to fix both the aggression on toys and make her kisses more gentle?

Our oldest was like that and we always took the toy away. And corrected the problem. Hers was only with a specific toy or two though.

have you trained her to be easy? I know when I tell my boy "easy" he slows down into slow motion. How is she with balls? Food and Toy aggression is very common in lots of dog breeds. You can totally try to work with her, check the training section there are a bunch of threads on this. But the easiest way is to not have toys out with multiple dogs and not feed them together. Feed them in their crates and only have toys out when one dog is out and the others are crated.

you can try and manage it though, so its good your starting early. If you cant find one to help, let me know and I can search for you.
