Sorry I can't give you an advice about sibling rivalry. We've always been a one dog family!

when I introduced the pug puppies to my adult bulldog Bella. the first few days she was not sure about it..then she settled right in.
cute puppy
congrats on your new addition

so it is normal for her to set limits w/ Archie....w/in reason....meaning she should be able to 'shoo' him from her bed and her stuff etc but she should be sternly talked to and pulled away if she actually goes to bite him...right now you may want them to get to know each other on opposite sides of a baby/puppy gate so she can sniff him and get her nose, which is out of joint right now, back in place. In my home, the females all have seniority over any of the males that have been here. A warning growl or a quick snap WITHOUT connection is to be expected if Archie goes near her when she has a 'possession' of hers....I buy 2 of every toy or goody when a new one comes into the house and stop the Queen Bee from hoarding all of them under her so no one else can touch them. Taking them for walks together and ALWAYS being present when he is w/ her after the initial introduction is a way to get them used to each other. Always feed her first, never let them eat in the same room right now...I feed my bullies all in their crates so no one tries to get the other's food. Playing w/ her maybe a touch more than normal might help her a bit. Time is the answer eventually but she is still Queen of the Castle and until he is big enough or smart enough to leave her alone or get away from her when she gives him 'the look' (which he also should learn) you need to be present the entire time.
I have a 'pack' sort of and each is distinct and I know how my Queen Bee will react initially and she is a grumbler, snap w/o connection and maybe a 'roar' on occasion... she has been through a lot of new pups in the house...she even has a particular look she gives ME when I come in w/ another pup or someone else's dog like "Good Grief...ANOTHER ONE????? I best get a good toy and bone out of this, right?".
Your girl is not 1) predictable b/c this is only your 2nd 'child' and she has been an only child and 2) your girl may not understand 'sharing'. Things will settle down...right now I'd use a gate for a few days and always be 100% present if they are in the same room together.
Good luck..I am sure it will work out in the next couple of months.

Michelle, Helen, Penny, Spanky and Faye pup

I got a puppy recently and Spanky has his moments when he gets protective, especially of my bed. He is the only dog that sleeps in my bed, so when Pepper puts her paws on it, he gets upset. He tolerates her, for the most part, but it takes time for them to be fully integrated into the dog family.

you have to give them lost of time. He's adorabull but she is feeling encroached on. they will bot =h work it out, for sure. Do not feed them together. let them have ' their own space' lots. give each of them lost of 'mom and me' time.

the very best of luck...
