I already have 2 mix breed Eskimos.  But I so wanted a girl.  Angel has been a joy. 

She is everything that Eskimos are suppose to be.  Smart.  Obedient.  Quick learner. 

When I had had Angel just a couple weeks (say 10 weeks old), I had her in the yard playing w/ my other two dogs.  My two grown Eskimo-wanna-be's listen to me very well.  They can run and play loose under my watchful eye.  Angel was still in the learning process.  So I left a short leash on her just in case she got the notion to try to take off.  The first time, I caught her w/ the leash.  The next time she took the notion, she looked at me, looked at her leash, picked it up in her mouth and took off!  Smart little booger!  And while she was faster than me.  She wasn't faster than Rascal, who corralled her back.  She is now 7 months old, and responds quickly to the 'come' command. 

Eskimos are quick learners.  I have my dogs to 'sit' before putting on their leashes for walks or going outside.  Now when Angel wants to go out, she'll come to the door and sit without being told when I'm ready to put her collar and leash on. 

Same goes for 'treat time'.  However, she learned the sit command means rear end on the floor.  When she gets excited for a treat, the rear end does stays on the floor, but she will use her front paws to scoot closer to you if she feels there's just too much distance between the treat and herself.  : )

She knows stay, lay, off (meaning off the furniture) and down (meaning go to the foot of the bed).  She knows how to fetch & give.  From the time she was 12 weeks old, she rarely had an 'accident' in the house.  I had her spayed at 6 months.  She did have a couple accidents that first week back at home.  But I think that was just swelling, bad timing, etc.  But she has since had 5 complete whole weeks tee totally accident free. 

I take her down to my husband's shop about once a week to every other week.  She doesn't know a stranger.  When people come in, they can talk to or pet her.  Or ignore her if they want.  However, when someone comes to the house, she does expect them to greet her.  She is just so sure they are coming to see her and everyone must love the Angel. 

Eskimos want to please you.  So when they do something wrong, it really doesn't take much at all to get across to them that was bad behavior.  So displine is a bare minimum unlike other breeds I know. 

Angel is on the small side of Eskimos by standard.  But Susie knew she would be small and that's exactly what I was looking for.  A small traveling companion, lap dog that rides well. 

Susie cares for her puppies.  And she loves to receive emails and pics of the babies to know how they are doing.

Hi Susie,

I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help!  “Clyde” has been the absolute perfect addition to our family.  I am not sure who is happier…Tyler and I or “Cliff” our two year old American Eskimo.  Clyde fits in so perfectly with our family.  The help that you provided me before and after getting Clyde was immaculate.  Every night leading up to Clyde coming over the hours that we spent talking about Clyde made me so excited for his arrival!! You could not have matched me up with a better puppy.  His personality is EXACTLY how you explained to me.  I have told all of my friends that if they ever want to bring a new puppy into their house hold…you are the person to talk to.  I look forward to sending you pictures as Clyde grows up    Take care, and you know that I will keep in touch.  If any of your future buyers would like to speak with me please feel free to share my information.

Kodi

  I had been looking for a puppy for my mother for about 2 months. I was moving to college and I wanted her to have something to snuggle with on the couch. So this puppy was going to be her big Christmas present. So while I was looking, I saw this picture of what looked like a snowball with a black nose and just immediately fell in love with the breed. Lucky for me, there was a litter that was going to be ready for christmas.  We brought Kodi home about 4 days before Christmas and he was a joy to have. He absolutley loves people, which is a good thing because my mother works in a nursing home. He does good in the car and just loves our family. He is also very smart, his favorite trick is to dance. He is going through his teething stage right now, which we can compare to the "terrible two's". Although we may get frustrated, it is so hard to be angry when he is so adorable. He does amazing in his kennel and after two days, it was his new favorite place to be. He is also very loyal to my mother, following her all over the house and just staring from at her feet. This is only a problem when he won't let anyone else take him outside, lol. Overall, he brings life to our house and we do love him.

  I got my dog from Susan about five and a half months ago, and from the first day she was born, Susan sent me pictures and emails and even phone calls to let me know how she was doing. She took very good care of my puppy and gave me alot of good advice and of course my puppy (Maya) was gorgeous like Susan told me.  Peaches and Leo make beautiful babies.

  If you have kids, these kind of dog are for you. They are gentle and kind and love to play alot, especially with other animals.  I'm thinking about getting another one.

  If you are debating on whether to get one or not, I would definitly get one. You wouldn't regret it... and in a couple of months, when you fall in love with your new puppy, come back and get another one, two is always better then one.

Susan,

Has your other litter been born yet?  I do love the ones you have on your page.

Also I've enclosed some pics of mine and of the 2 my son's girlfriend bought        from you they  are  larger dog than Benji.

Let me know how much, I thought about getting one for my granddaughters.

It is fine if you give my email to a buyer, I will let them know how much we love    Benji, Camo & Mixie.

Susan,

Sorry I've take so long to get back with you.  Lady is doing so good.  She's only had two accidents in the house, and they were both partly our fault.  She is just soo cute and so smart.  She is doing better each day with the leash and getting used to her halter.  She and my kitty have definitely bonded and are good friends.  They are even playing together, when the cat chooses to, of course.  I'm taking Lady to the Vet next week for her checkup, etc.  She has plenty of pig's ears and toys, she and the cat are even sharing toys now. 

I bought her the cutest little travel tote, with matching blanket and toy.  Jack is bringing her to my office this week to show her off. 

She's gained a little weight, but not much.  I'm feeding Science Diet Puppy food and she seems to like it fine.

She has brought so much joy to us.  Thank you again for sending her to us.

 

Talk to you soon

Susie,

Here's a couple of photos of Mia. I could only snap one shot of her and my other pomi JoJo because Mia never sits still! She's eating up a storm and the potty trainings coming along slowly. She got a shot last week. Boy did she cry. The vet called her a wimp. That night was the only time I ever saw her sleep on her back with her feet up in the air. I remember when you e-mailed me after she had gotten a shot that she was sleeping the same way and I thought to my self - yeah, right. Well, now I know you weren't kidding! Mia's a joy and we love her. Can't thank you enough.

Hi Susan - Since picking the "kids" up in Boston on Friday it has been non-stop amusement. They both seemed to enjoy the trip although Emma was upset when Delta  airlines ran out of headphones which prevented her from listening to the movie. Both Marlowe and Emma were very happy to see their new home and all the snow we still have. They immediately began digging in the snow. They have been very good and have had few accidents, and we are enjoying all their antics. They play hard and sleep well as you can see from the picture.

Susan, it was a pleasure doing business with you. You quickly answered all my questions and the pictures each week were terrific. I will be updating you on their progress.

We have had our dog (Ginger) for about 7 months now. She is a       delight; very bouncy, very energetic, lots of fun. She is a smart dog  who was quickly house-trained, and has developed into a good          companion for our 7-year-old son and his playmates. She was quite    frightened of people at first, but that did not last, and now she is    happy to see visitors. She gets along well with our 2-year-old min.    Amer. Eskimo (male), who is 3 times her size and weight (actually,    she pretty much runs the show). A wonderful dog. Email inquires       about Ginger from potential owners are fine.

  New comment:  Well I guess its a good thing Bella likes the snow!!!  She'll be                                seeing a lot  more of it!!!

Susie...

  Thank you so much for everything…  The e-mails and updates were wonderful…  I was so   excited to hear from you the day she was born…  Also thanks for all the good advise…           Bella is the cutest thing…  Compliments to Peaches and Leo!!!  She is so excited for               everything!!  Always prancing around to show someone how adorable she is…  You were        right everyone wants her and is jealous of me…  She went to the garden center with me the    other day and a woman in passing told me she takes the gold for the cutest puppy she ever     saw… Yeah Bella!!! 

She is 11 weeks old now and we are already learning “right and wrong.”  She knows “NO”     and we are coming along slowly with housebreaking…  One step at a time!!!  She follows me  everywhere, always running circles around me, the kitchen or just in the yard…  Sometime I  wonder if she knows how fast she is going…  She puts her ears back and runs around so fast  and then she stops at my feet with that “did you see me?” look on her face…  She has such    a personality!!!  Then when we sit down to relax before bed time, she passes out in my            arms…  Then sleeps all the way through the night… *Good Baby!!*

Bella is so good in the truck…  She sits in my lap and doesn’t move until we get to where        were going…  I took her to the drive-in movies a few days ago…  Oh boy was she a hit…       Se was so interested in watching everything around her…  All the kids playing were pointing  and saying “Oh look at the cute puppy…”  We even had the employees coming over to say    hi…  She stayed in my lap without a peep for the length of two movies…  Such a cuddle          bug!!!

She is a joy and we all love her dearly!!!  I have already told so many people about Susie        and her babies…  She loves them until you can and it shows…  If anyone has any questions   about the puppies or shipping feel free to contact me… *The only love a person can buy*

Thanks again for everything!

To whom it my concern,

We were searching for a mate for our other female Pomeranian named Coco. That was when we found Country Girl Eskimos Kennels. We found this precious female on the site and fell in love with her. We contacted Susan Helmandollar owner of the kennel. We purchased the tiny Pomeranian from Susan in September of 2008.  During the process Susan kept us updated on how our little girl Ginger was doing. Susan was very personal and continued to update pictures for us to see just how well our Ginger was developing. She was very thorough with all the vet visits and shots Ginger went through. Susan started calling Ginger by her name so she would answer to it when called. When Ginger arrived at Los Angeles airport she was sitting in her crate and was as happy and alert as could be. When she arrived home and met her new sister Coco they did the usual inspection on each other and have become best friends since. Coco being older watches out for Ginger and Ginger has pretty much taken over the household. Ginger went to our vet 2 days after her arrival and the vet gave us an all clear. He stated she was very healthy and had a very loving personality. We could not have been happier with our experience with Susan and her very personal way of business. She has kept in touch with us on how Ginger is doing and we send her pictures of Ginger. Our experience was very delightful and her pups are loved and cared for in the most caring environment. I would recommend Susan when your looking for a healthy and well cared for puppy.

Sincerely,

Tom Poole

I just wanted to thank you so much for everything. I never thought I would find

such a caring,dedicated and personable breeder as you are. Whenever I sent you

an email to ask a question you always answered them fast and friendly (even when

you were busy!) The email updates and pictures were GREAT too!  I knew every

Tuesday I could count on you to brighten my day after a long day at work. The

ladies at the nursing home grew to know that Wednesday afternoons were when they

got to see new pictures of my adorable baby! Bella was shipped via AA to Logan

Airport in Boston. I had absolutely no problems picking her up! She arrived

happy, healthy and ready to come out of her carrier to play.

Bella is almost 10 weeks old now and she is doing wonderful! We are crate

training her. She is coming along one step at a time. We have had a few

accidents but nothing not to be expected. We brought her to the vet the other

day and she weighed in at 2 Lbs! She is such a little peanut! Everyone at the

vet fell in love with her. Susie, I just can't thank you enough! I will

definitely keep you updated and send you lots of new pictures as she grows! If

anyone has any questions..feel free to give them my email address. Thanks

again!!

Susie,

I just wanted to give you an update on Baxter.  He and his eskie sister are getting along great.  Baxter is small but he can stand up to her.  He is the sweetest puppy, he loves to be held and he loves everybody he has met, including my 5 year old.  You can tell he has been around kids and other animals. 

You have been the best breeder to work with.  I appreciate you patiently answering all my questions and giving me updates on Baxter.  My family  LIVED  for those weekly updates.  We would all gather around the computer to see the new pictures.  We even loved looking at Baxters brothers and sisters.   It was better than television!  When I finally got to meet you in person, I felt like I had known you for a long time.

Please feel free to have anyone interested in one of your puppies call me or email me.  I will be happy to talk to them.

He is healthy and thriving!

Thanks Again,

Apollo has become a light in the lives of myself and my husband. We finally feel like a complete and whole family. Apollo is an absolute doll and we love him to death. He has a fantastic personality and is eager to please us and be the best little puppy he can be.

I spent months upon months looking for that perfect dog that just clicked to me and he was it the moment I saw him. He was so worth the long trip and he has been doing phenomenal with traveling, which simply reiterates the fact that he is just what we needed in a pup.

Everyone we meet is so jealous that he is ours and everyone asks about where we got him and I always mention you! Thank you so much for completing our little military family.

Susie,

She is wonderful!!!!  I would like to thank you for the beautiful puppy. I can tell that Sakari was well taken care of. You always promptly answered any question I had. I was worried about her being shipped and you reassured me that everything would be okay. You picked the most direct flights with the least amount of layover time. When Sakari arrived we took her out of the crate and it took only a few minutes to warm up to us. By the time we got to the car she was giving us lots of kisses. She has been a wonderful addition to our family and by the next day she followed me everywhere. She is quick to learn and has been pretty good about going potty outside.

Thank you,

~Rosemary~ AZ

Dear Susie,

In the picture above is our dog "Cami" one week prior to pick up.  She was born on January 14, 2008 and is almost a year old now.  The time has passed so quickly.  I attached an updated picture of her in her Halloween bandana, as well as included some as she grew within the email.  She is from Piper's second litter.  She is an adorable and loving puppy!  She is very smart, learns quickly, is friendly, and loves to play.  She is a "cuddlebug," just as you described her.  She is definitely a sweetheart!  She also loves to give kisses on your face and will nuzzle to get her bottom scratched.  We couldn't have asked for a dog with a better disposition.  She is a miniature Eskie and is about 11 pounds now, the perfect size for us.  She enjoys meeting new people and playing with other dogs.  She is very nosy and has taken to standing on her hind legs for extended periods of time in order to investigate things.  It is quite a trick and we call it her Meerkat pose.  We could not imagine a better dog.  She has made our family complete and it is almost impossible to remember what life was like before she came into our lives.  Thank you so much, she is everything that we hoped for and more!   We hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hi Susie,

Happy after the holidays to you and your family.

Well, it has taken awhile but Bear has finally accepted Maya into the family with open paws! lol

Here are a couple of shots of them I thought you might like to see.

I wanted to also thank you for the experience that you took me on during the process of finding Maya. Your communication, updated photos and the care that you showed during a tough time was compelling to me and I want you to know as well as other folks that I recommend you 110 per cent.

Your advise column and Hints and tips is great not only for the first time buyer but for us that didn't recieve such excellent treatment the first time around.

As you can tell from the photos Maya is a joy and has really helped Bear adjust and has certainly become a beloved part of the family.

So, again thank you for all your support, care , wisedom and most of all providing Bear and I with a wonderful new addition to the family.

Best wishes to you!

Regards,

Susie,

I hope all is well for you and your family. Simba is doing great and he is so full of energy. Everyone that meets him wants to keep him. He has already made quite a few doggy friends with some of my friend's pets. He is the perfect little companion for me to have. Thank you for everything! Here are a few pictures of simba. They are a little old, but some is better than none.
