Welcome back to another week at Lamgo Farms!  Thank you for peeking in on just what we are doing this week with our puppy litters and more.

The puppies are growing and we are just waiting for our Sanjay girl to give us her babies any time now!  They are still poking back at me when I hold her tummy.  I think they want out just as much as I want them out!  Nothing to be concerned about.  I’ve learned over the years that when the last puppy is mature enough, labor will begin.  Hang in there folks!

Well, tomorrow is Football day and since our kiddos are football obsessed, I’ve cleared my tomorrow afternoon for us to just be a family and football.  I have been cooking today and preparing all the snacks!  We are ready!  So I won’t be available to answer any questions until Tuesday.

Today was absolutely beautiful weather for us.  My three oldest boys deep cleaned all the barns.  There’s no pleasant way to say that farm life is hard.  And at first I felt guilty about handing down such a physically and emotionally difficult life to my children.  But today, as I watched them practice a healthy work ethic I also watched them laughing and living.

The truth is that we want to cradle our kiddos forever and not expose them to the hard of it all.  But our kids have witnessed incredibly hard seasons where we rally as a family until we reach seasons of beauty.  

If you are local here in Texas, then you know of the seven years of severe drought that left so many ranchers and farmers completely drained and left in despair.  I remember the summer where our average was 117.  My boys would go outside twice a day and spray down the chicken coops and ground to cool things off.  We left frozen water bottles and even inside our home with air conditioning- we roasted.

Oh that year.  We lost many chickens and cattle. We kept our underwear in the freezer!!!  Yes! LOL! The dogs would go outside to potty and run back to the house.  The kids never left the house until around 3 am when we would pile in the truck with the hubs to run out to the pasture to start the generators that would pump water from the well to the pond for the cows.

My husband and I were much younger and had much more energy back then than our current days.  It was hard.  It was back breaking.  It was soul searching.  We fell to the ground many times crying out to our Lord for mercy from the heat and drought.

What about the kids?  My kids remember the heat, the underwear in the freezer.  But they mostly remember how fun it was to go those late nights with daddy to the pasture and then over to Whataburger for a cold shake.  We were nocturnal.  And the kids loved it.  The hard of it all was a brief moment in history for them.  They remember the fun.  They remember the silliness.  They remember being family.

We adore this Family who has 4 of our doodles!

Why am I going on and on about this?  Well, it’s late and I tend to ramble late at night. Haha!  But seriously.  Watching the boys working hard today while cracking jokes…  watching Jessica working with the horses, watching Melissa capture it all in art-  watching our three toddlers playing in their sandbox talking to our Duke and Daphne dogs while the horses harassed them all at the fence line near by. . .God just let me know that no matter how I may mess up or no matter the hard seasons we walk through- we are not alone.  God has these great kids of mine. And although they can turn my hair gray and make me roll my eyes at least 30 times a day. . .they are truly great.

They never once complained about the hard work. They just learn how to do it better each time.  Oh thank you Lord for your mercies new every single morning. 

Rylee

One of those mercies is the feedback I receive from all of you who have taken home our puppies.  Your stories and heartfelt thank you comforts my soul.  Your words sooth us on a hard day.  It makes all of the puppy and dog poo, the trips to the groomer, the cleaning, the training, the late nights and up at dawn days worth it.  You have no idea how your words impact our lives and propel us to do better the next time around.  Thank you!

Phil and I have realized that through living on this ranch, our kids may very well be more than prepared to go out into their careers and beyond.  I hope they can one day say, “It all started with a puppy.”

 Here is what we have now

and what is coming up soon.

 2020 Breedings

Cheyenne and Duke’s F2 Mini Goldendoodles

Cheyenne delivered 5 girls on January 4th. They are absolutely beautiful.  Right now it looks like the coats are mostly wavy.  I’ll know more in a few days.  They are what I call a “peanut butter” color and at least one red.

What’s Happening Now:

The puppies are growing and getting fat!  I love this stage!  Those little personalities are starting to emerge.  This is the fun part. This week the puppies will receive another deworming preventative.  They will continue with their gruel until we see some teeth coming in.  Then we will start to throw in some kibble with it.  Right now they are getting gruel once a day along with nursing.  We will increase this to twice a day next week. 

Paperwork: Each of you should have received directions to the farm as well as puppy picking instructions.

What Happens Next:

Week 5: This next week we will conduct our temperament testing!  The results will be compiled into small paragraphs for each puppy.  This is not only our testing but also our families assessment of each puppy.  This is also the place where you will see my anticipated coloring, coat texture and weight for each puppy.

Week 6 will be my next round of emails which will include temperament testing results, reading material, invoices and then during week 8 will be puppy pick up information.

These puppies are priced at $2,100. 

Puppies will be both chosen and going home on the same day, Saturday, February 29th.  Picking times are listed below.

What’s Happening Now:

Right now they are still nursing and sleeping all day.  We will see a little more action during weeks 3 and 4.

Each of you should be receiving an email with your purchase contract, health warranty and suggested supply list.  I’ve sent out a few but still need to hear back from a few of you first.

What Happens Next:

During week 3 we will post our first video of this litter.  We will have weekly video from weeks 3 to 7.  

Week 4: I will be emailing directions to the farm as well as puppy picking instructions and lodging locations close to us for those wanting to drive up the night before.

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 23, 19, 17, 15, 12, 3, 2 and 16 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 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.
