August 4, 2019

Welcome to this week’s update at Lamgo Farms!  I’m so excited you’ve found your way to us!

For those new to Lamgo Farms, I’d like to take a few moments to introduce us.  My husband and I live on a “Ranch” though we call it a farm in a not so little rural anymore area outside of Midlothian, Texas.  We also have a little custom pet line at LamgoLand!

We have eight children! 23, 18, 17, 15, 12, 3, 2, and 11 months old.  The past three years we have added three of our children through adoption.  So, it’s been a little like a circus, but it’s been amazing.  

We homeschool the kiddos and of course, work here from home, so the puppies that pass through our hands get a lot of attention, socializing and training before they go home.

We love all things animal!  Horses, cows, chickens, ducks, Pigs (I don’t have any but slowly leaving subtle hints for the hubs) cats and of course. . .dogs!

We found that dogs can be a great source of therapy and service even if not originally purchased for that purpose.  Twenty-two years ago, we lost a son to a heart defect.  I almost immediately turned to a puppy.  Now, I know we had our oldest to raise and look after.  But during those immediate days of depression, being forced to get up, let puppy out, feed puppy etc- kept me moving even if my heart had stopped.  The emotional support of sitting and petting and especially with the doodles- having them connect with your emotions was the reason Lamgo Farms came into existence.

Right now we do have picking spots in a few of our litters.  Feel free to scroll on down and check out just what we have available.  And of course, if any of you see a mistake or if I forgot to add a name to a list. . .let me know asap!

Bella’s Photo Gallery

What’s Happening Now:

This past week we had the puppies temperament tested.  The results will be emailed on Wednesday.  Tomorrow the puppies will also receive their first set of shots along with another deworming.  Towards the middle of the week, we will start on crate training.  Each puppy will have a buddy to begin training.  This way they are introduced slowly and it isn’t traumatizing.  

You will be receiving an email entitled “Reading Material” during this week which will have the exact vaccinations given so you can make your first appointments with your vet.  This email will also have our puppy schedule, our crate/potty training procedures along with separate attachments to open for each puppy stage you will encounter.

What Happens Next:

During week 7- I will send out puppy pick up instructions and then another reminder a few days before picking.  

Puppy picking will be Saturday and Sunday, August 17 and 18th.  Your Day and times are listed below.  All times are Central Standard time.

A Double doodle is the cross between our mini Chocolate Labradoodle and our Red Mini Goldendoodle.  The coat is thinner and tends to have a cotton or wire texture.  Puppies tend to have more of a Labradoodle coat.

Charmin’s Photo Gallery

What’s Happening Now:

We are in the middle of the weaning process.  Charmin now spends her day time playing.  She nurses for breakfast and dinner.  By the end of this week she will be removed from the puppies.  With this small cold (cooler) weather front, she has been enjoying running around! Temperament testing will be done on Wednesday this week.  Results will be emailed next week.  This week we will simply concentrate on socializing and adding some hard kibble to their food as those teeth are coming in strong!

What Happens Next:

Week 6 is another big one.  The puppies will receive their first set of shots along with another deworming.  You will be emailed “Reading Material” which has a list of the shots, when the next set is due and training material for you to read and prepare before you take home your puppy.  Invoices will be emailed between now and then.  This is also the week when your temperament testing results will be emailed to you.

Picking and Pick up will be on the same day, August 31.  Times listed below are all central standard time.

Sanjay and Paddington F1bb Petite

Sanjay delivered 3 girls and 1 boy July 29. 

Everyone is doing great and thriving!  These babies are little but chunky!  Right now their eyes and ears are closed so they use their sense of smell to locate mama and to nurse.  By 14 days old, we will start seeing eyes open and they will be able to hears us!  Individual pictures will be taken at that time and posted to our photo gallery.  We will have a link for you next week.  Video begins at week 3.

We will be having our picking for this litter at week 6 on September 14th and then pick up at week 8, September 28th at 11am.

These will be just slightly larger than our petite size.  Sanjay is the daughter of Daphne and Burton.  She is a light red f1b Micro Mini Goldendoodle.  She is paired with our Paddington (son of Mrs. Beasley and Mr. Bean).  These puppies will be all shades of red with maybe a lighter color passing down from Daphne.  Coats are both curly and wavy.  Mostly curly.  The f1bb generation has the least amount of dander yielding the best coat for  those with severe allergies and asthma.  All of the personality of the larger goldendoodle packed in a little petite (forever looking puppy) package.

Jasmine/Beans Petite Red

Jasmine is getting a huge belly!  That is good news for everyone here.  We have another week to go!  Jasmine has been moved to the nursery!  

Jasmine has been paired with our new little “Beans.”  Not to be confused with our retired, Mr. Bean.  Beans is a miniature dark red poodle.  Because Jasmine is a wavy coat- we are using Beans to make sure we have the desired coats and colors. We do expect mostly wavy coats in this breeding.  I’m so excited to see these puppies!  Both Jasmine aka “Red” and Beans are dark reds.

FAQ:

What breedings to you have coming up? Please scroll back Up for current and upcoming litters (scroll down for more future litters) to the “Next Season’s Breeding Schedule” to see what will be bred and what picking spots are open.

How do I know if you have any open picking spots in a particular litter? Scroll  until you see your desired litter.  Any available picking spots will be listed as “open.”

How do I reserve a picking spot? Complete the contact form located at the end of each litter.  Then make your deposit payment by choosing the add to cart button.  For litters not yet listed please Email me at goldendoodles@lamgofarms.com with “deposit” in the subject line.  Note which litter and number on the picking spot you prefer that is listed as open. Include your name, mailing address, phone number and any preferences you may have for your puppy.  Then go to our pricing/payment page at LamgoFarms.com to place your deposit of $250.  There is a $5 PayPal processing fee that will be added to your total.  

Are Deposits refundable?  Unfortunately, due to the high demand of our puppies, we no longer refund deposits for any reason.  If for some reason we do not have enough puppies born to provide for every owner- your deposit can be transferred to your next desired litter.  The $250 is a picking spot reservation.  This also helps us weed out those who are not serious about taking home one of our puppies.  

Do you have any paperwork we need to complete? Since our puppies are Reserved almost a year in advance- we will spend that time getting to know each of you and will be offering the proper education to make sure you are fully prepared to bring home your puppy.  When placing a deposit, please include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number and any preferences you may have.  Once you place your deposit, I will email you your purchase contract which also serves as your receipt.  You will need to sign and email this back to me. You will also receive a suggested supply list as well as our Health Warranty.  The Health Warranty is not due back until 30 days after you take your puppy home.

Do you choose the puppy for us or can we choose our own puppy?  You will be asked to visit the Farm at your puppy picking appointment and will be given an hour to choose your puppy.  The choice is yours.  Please understand that we cannot guarantee gender availability.  When it comes to our donated therapy/service dogs, we will choose the top two for you and then you can make your choice out of those.

Can we visit Lamgo Farms for allergy testing or just to see the dogs?  Every puppy owner that has placed a deposit is invited to the farm between weeks 5 and 6 for a puppy picking appointment.  If unable to attend- we can send extra video and pictures or FaceTime the appointment.  Unfortunately- we do not allow other visitors due to the health risk for our puppies and dogs as well as for the safety of our family.  If you wish to have allergy testing- it’s best to find a doodle owner and see if you can tolerate that particular generation of doodle.  We have several pictures, video as well as slide shows showing our grounds, parents and past puppies.  You may also visit our Facebook page and join our open forum to communicate with any of our past owners about their experience with Lamgo Farms.  We welcome your questions!

Do you do temperament testing?  Yes, all puppies are tested at week 5 and the results are emailed prior to your puppy picking appointment.

Do you take weekly pictures of your puppies?  Yes, The first week is simply a group photo but individual pictures are taken weekly starting at week 2.  Video is taken weekly starting at week 3 and concludes at week 7.

Are your puppies socialized?  Yes!  We now have 8 children.  Ages 22, 18, 17, 15, 11, 3, 2 and 8 months old.  We homeschool and are able to hold, socialize using sensory stimulation as well as play with and cuddle your puppy several times a day which prepares them for any home environment.

When do the puppies come home?  Puppies are ready to go home on the Saturday between weeks 7 and 8.

Do you have a Health Warranty?  Yes, Lamgo Farms has a 1 year warranty over hips and eyes.  

Do you Health Test your Breeding dogs?  Some are OFA tested but not all.  After consulting an Animal Orthopedic doctor- we learned that these tests do not offer the assurance that puppies will not have hip issues.  A good line of breeding stock along with cross breeding and proper care of the puppy will protect and prevent hip issues.

Do you allow boarding after the release date of the puppy?  Unfortunately, we are unable to keep your puppy past the pick up date.  You will be notified within 24 hours after the birth as to your picking appointment time as well as puppy pick up date/time/information.  This will allow you at least 7 weeks to make pick up arrangements.  Pick up is on a Saturday a 10 am.  We do sometimes offer a Friday pick up by appointment.  Lamgo Farms is closed on Sundays and cannot do picking appointments or pick up appointments at that time.

Do you fly puppies out of state?  At this time, we only fly pet cargo during the months of November through May.  Our summer months are too hot to fly.  Flying is an additional $450.  We use both Flight Nannies (for dogs that stand no taller than 11 inches) and pet cargo flights.  We can fly during the off season with Flight Nannies only.

What is included in the price of the puppy?  An awesome Lamgo Farms PUPPY. . . complete puppy packet:  Crate, potty training bells, nutritional supplement, toys, treats, scented blanket from littermates, training material, folder with health records, pedigree, etc, emailed photo collage of your puppy as well as a 10 lb bucket of premium puppy food that will last a few months.

Goldendoodles (Standard, Medium and miniature): $1,950 

Goldendoodles (Petite): $2,100

Do you offer discounts: Yes, we offer a $300 discount for our Military owners.  Verification of service is required.  Once a year we also offer donation dogs for those medically requiring therapy or service dogs.  Please email me your circumstance and we will pray and ask God for the answer.  We have a medical form that needs to be completed by a doctor to qualify for service needs.

Do you have a Spay/Neuter clause?  Yes.  All of our puppies are sold with our contract stating all males must be neutered before 5 months old and females must be spayed before 6 months old.  We no longer sell for breeding purposes. Puppies not fixed by the requested time frames will void the Health Warranty.

What sets Lamgo Farms apart from other Goldendoodle breeders?  First, having 14 years experience in breeding Goldendoodles- we have learned quite a bit about what to breed to create the perfect doodle for every coat type and personality desired as well as our dedication to each litter.  Living on a farm and homeschooling allows us to constantly lay hands on the puppies and give them the ultimate care they need and you desire in a breeder.  We care greatly for our puppies and owners and strive to give that personal touch to every one and puppy that comes our way.  We also trust God to give us the perfect puppy you desire.  We pray over every breeding and puppy and are genuinely blessed with the ability to raise these fluffy friends.

Pictures and Video:  When we do have puppies. . .Pictures will be uploaded in our photo gallery at photos.lamgofarms.com and on our Facebook page.  Video will be located on our Youtube channel at Happenings at lamgo Farms.  Weekly pictures will start at week 2 and Video will start to be taken when puppies are three weeks old.
