American Eskimos

I was given an american eskimo dog a month ago and 2 weeks ago we had 10 puppies from her....we need all the help we can get as I have never owned a puppy or anything. We always rescue dogs in need...but I want to do it right for anyone that gets a puppy so please send me advice and help...the mom growls and I am afraid of her with little kids and I want to be sure the puppies are not like that. She was only an outdoor dog so she had not been trained at all. I was working on her when unexpectedly we got the puppies.
