Thank you all for the words of reassurance. I guess there is some degree of bonding going on as she will whine in her crate if she is left alone but if I have the crate right next to me, she settles down. She won't settle down if only the dogs are with her.

She came from an excellent breeder of working dogs and yes, she was born and lived in the house and was extensively socialized by family, including two young girls, and friends. In retrospect, my first two Rotties were "only children". The third one came when I still had my male but she was still always more interested in me than in him. That's why this one came as a bit of a surprise. I think you are right that we need to get more one on one time, away from the other two.
