Answer
This is a difficult problem, and I doubt my help alone over the net will be enough to correct it.  The key to most behavior problems is approaching things using the dog's natural instincts. Dogs see all the people and dogs in the household as a pack with each having their own rank in the pack and a top dog. Life is much easier if the 2 legged pack members outrank the 4 legged ones. You can learn to play the role of top dog by reading some books or going to a good obedience class. A good obedience class or book is about you being top dog, not about rewarding standard commands with a treat. Start at http://www.dogsbestfriend.com/ For more on being top dog, see http://www.dogbreedinfo.com./topdogrules.htm  There is additional material at the site on children and dogs you need to find and read.  I think you or your husband really need to attend a class with her.  You may need additional private lessons perhaps even from a behaviorist.

Spay her if not already.  It is no cure all, but should help the problems.  With her problems, she certainly never be used for breeding.  dogs often turn out much like their parents.  Breed ill tempered dogs, and you get ill tempered dogs. Let the kennel you bought her from know they sold you an unsatisfactory dog.
