We got Bosco when he was just a puppy…looks very similar to Molly but is a Labradoodle. Molly is a cutie! Bosco doesn’t hate petting but most of the times I try to pet him, he thinks I want to play and he runs off to get a ball for me to throw. He’s way more interested in chasing a ball than being petted. He doesn’t necessarily hate it but just has better things to do with his time. I agree with the others, give her time.
