Should I get my dog put down?

Really don't know what to do for the best. Had our dog nine years, she is a mixed breed, nor really sure what she is a bit Spanial, she has always been lively jumping up etc.
We took her to training a few years back, it didn't really work to be honest. I have 2 ds one who is five and one 2.10.
A few years back the dog bit the next door neighbour, we were at work she got out in the rain so he tried to put her back in. The nice next door neighbour played it down but had a plaster on.
We let it go and watched her closely. She has growled at the kids a few times and nipped the eldest once when he was a toddler but the child stood on his tail accidentally. Both ds know not to be cruel to the dog and never are. Today ds tried to take a bean off the dogs plate, it was left over from his dinner and given to the dog. I heard ds scream I was washing up he was crying hard his arm was very red and swollen and has teeth marks but it didn't bleed.
Not sure what to do, everyone telling me we have had enough warnings now and next time it could be the eye.
Dog is walked everyday has massive back garden and I only work part time so it's rarely alone.
Please give me some advice sorry it's so long didn't want to drip feed

I promise this is the very last time I read and post in any of these threads. They make me do angry I could scream.
So you aren't having the dog put down.
You are not prepared to work with the dog, even though there are behaviour experts who can help.
You won't pay for a dog walker.
And the only 2 rescues in NI won't take him.

OP, if you actually care about this dog pm me some more info and I will try and help. I will do my best to find a rescue, or a foster home or anything because you seem to have given up and are prepared to let your dog go to an unsuitable home to avoid you having to work with him, or pay for help.

Please do not get another dog. Please. I am sick to death of people who won't even try and help their own dogs.
