In other words, a BYB.

This may well explain her cowering. She's afraid because she wasn't exposed to different sights and sounds to help her understand the world as a safe, friendly place.

I wish you'd found RDN before you found that breeder.
After three days in my house, I would want to see my puppy or young dog happy and outgoing, not cowering like your girl is doing.
You may have a problem on your hands, you may not. Certainly, you're going to have to work hard to make her interactions with you, your wife, and other adults positive and rewarding--moondog gave you excellent suggestions.
