Welcome to this week’s update at Lamgo Farms!! I’m excited and thankful you’ve found your way to this page.
The weekly update is our way of communicating to all of our past, current and future puppy owners as well as offering more information on the doodle breed itself.
We are a Large Homeschooling farm family and often share a little about just what is happening here at Lamgo Farms.
Right now we have four litters on the ground! We don’t have super large litters but it’s enough to keep us busy. We are excited that puppy picking and pick up is coming soon! I’m already getting puppy packets together, which let’s just admit it. . .is kind of fun. I’m also in the process of sending out our emails providing all of the important details needed to get ready to take home a Lamgo Farms puppy.
We have final picking spots available in our Snowflake, Chaquita and Lina litters. For our final spots we ask that you not have a gender preference. Sometimes the final puppy is a male and sometimes it’s a female. Both are great! If you do have a gender preference, then it’s a good idea to be on a future litter as the first or second pick of the litter.
Although people do have preferences coming into picking, many change their minds once they see and visit with each puppy.
We are excited to see so many new visitors lately to this page. I just want to take a brief moment to introduce ourselves and tell you a little about how we came to be doodle breeders.
I’m a work from home momma to 8 kiddos here at home and 1 beautiful little boy in Heaven. Our oldest is 23 and our youngest is 1 year old. So life is pretty much always interesting and full of surprises.
I have always been an animal lover. My grandparents were farmers and my parents had a buffalo ranch. Having cats and dogs was just part of it all. I said goodbye to having a house full of pets when I married my husband who has severe allergies and asthma.
We revisited the idea of having a dog after the tragic and sudden death of our infant son, William to Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Within a week of his death, I found myself bringing home a puppy. That puppy eventually led me finding a way that we could have animals without risking my husband, Phil’s health.
And so we met the Goldendoodle. Many call them designer breeds, But for those with physical and emotional needs, the Goldendoodle was developed to offer the sweet and gentle spirit of the Retriever without having shedding or high dander levels. The poodle was a wonderful way to keep those retriever qualities with the added bliss of the super intelligent poodle to give us that beautiful non shedding coat.
We finally had our large breed that my husband and children with asthma could play with all day without having issues. After noticing how therapeutic the dogs were for me as I learned to grieve the death of our son and express my feelings in a healthy way, I decided we needed to expand to offer those in a similar situation the ability to own one of these dogs for healing.
And so Lamgo Farms started to grow and grow and grow. We have at least one litter a year that is a donation litter for those in need who cannot afford a doodle. We have been so blessed to be surrounded by the most wonderful owners and customers.
Seeing how some of our own younger children would easily scare when around the larger doodles, we started to down size our doodles into the miniature, petite and now pocket sizes. So whatever your need or desire- we may just have the perfect size for you and your family.
Scroll on down to see just what we have right now and what is on the horizon. Thank you again for visiting! We’ll see you again next Wednesday!
Here is what we have now and what is coming up soon.

2019 Breedings
(Keep scrolling to see our planned 2020 schedule)
Snowflake/Burton
F1 Mini Goldendoodles
Snowflake has 2 girls and 4 boys. Born October 12th. They are all a cream or peanut butter or red coloring. All wavy coats. They mature between 27-37 lbs.

What’s Happening Now:
The puppies are all doing so great! They are thriving and loving and playful! I love this part. Right now we are in the middle of the weaning process. By the end of next week they will be fully weaned and already starting crate training.
Our puppies start 2 or 3 to a crate to introduce them to their new surroundings. This means a little less stress when they have a buddy. Once they can go in their crate without whining, we move them all by themselves.
Temperament testing is scheduled for Friday. I will be emailing the results the day before Thanksgiving.
Everyone should have received directions to the farm as well as puppy picking instructions. Puppy pick up instructions will be emailed in a few days. Hopefully this weekend. But the first two emails should get you started to plan your trip.
The puppies will be having another deworming tomorrow which should complete their series of deworming while here.
What Happens Next:
Next week we will start solid food! We will still offer some gruel to make sure everyone is getting the proper nutrition. But they are well on their way to getting ready to go home!
The first set of shots will be given next week as well. You will have all the information about shots in your emails. You will need this information to schedule your first Vet appointment.
Make sure you check out the suggested supply list attachment sent in your Puppy Deposit Receipt email (the one with the purchase contract). If you have not yet received your purchase contract, please send me a text to 817-366-7995.
We will have one final video and update which will be the day before Thanksgiving!

What’s Happening Now:
Lina and the puppies are doing great! This is a small litter so there is more than enough milk to go around and these babies are super fat! I love fat babies! Right now the puppies are sleeping and nursing all day long. I usually wait unit week 3 to do video, but I did a little one this morning due to the super cuteness factor!
What Happens Next:
Next week we will have another longer video and more pictures of course. Week 4 is really when we see those personalities emerge. Week 5 is when we do our temperament testing and then we will have their first set of shots at week 6.

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 Buy Now button under the litter in which you wish to reserve your picking spot. 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.
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.

Do you offer discounts: Yes, we offer a $150 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.
