This is very true. Read your paperwork first.

Alternately, you really haven't had her very long. I think there is a chance that she could get used to the kids if you wanted to try to work through this. First, make a firm rule with the kids that they are never to approach her or try to pet her. Let the dog make the first move. When she begins approaching them on her own free will, then - and only then - would I let the kids try to pet her. If she backs away, fine, let her go. Do not force her to be petted by the kids. I bet she will come around in time IF you can get your kids to leave her alone.

But, if you are too afraid of the risk to your kids, I understand.
