Weekly Update February 16, 2020

 


February 16, 2020

Hello and Welcome to another update at Lamgo Farms!  We’ve been busy playing with puppies, teaching kiddos and tending to clean up and planting on the farm.  How have you all been this week?

We have had a beautiful few days weather wise here in the country.  Dogs and kids have all been enjoying it.  Not too hot and not too cold.  Juuuuust right! 

We are now less than two weeks away from our Cheyenne puppies going home and we are now half way through Parker’s puppies’ stay with us.  The days are long but somehow, time speeds up on us.  And as we get older, we merely blink into new seasons.

This next new season. . .Preschool for the littles!  Well, at least Preschool curriculum.  Ava and Nate have the exact same birthday just one year apart.  Well, she was born at 4am and he was born at 4 pm.  They are about to turn 3 and 4 years old!  Yep, we blinked and here we are now.

“Can we PLAY school today” has been the question I get approximately every thirty seconds.  I’m limiting Preschool work to just twice a week.  Otherwise it gets “old” and they become bored pretty fast.  So, no. . .we can’t play school every day. But I love that they love it.

As my older children say, “their still young enough to love school work.”  Sara just plays along but at just 17 months old, she still rips the pages of books and eats the play sand.  At least she’s having fun though.

Yesterday all three littles joined Phil and Jessa in the puppy room to play with Cheyenne’s babies.  So for those of you with little ones in your life, these puppies will be quite prepared for you.

For those of you who have purchased from our store, we are excited to be introducing new designs for our elevated feeders!  Most of our designs fit the French Country or Farmhouse decor.  So we are adding a little more industrial look as well as some nice clean lines for our more modern pups out there.  I can’t wait for you to see them!  

There is a lot to cover this week for each of our litters, so without further delay, let’s hop on down to see just what is happening this week. . .

 Here is what we have now

and what is coming up soon.

 Scroll down to the FAQ section to see how to place a deposit, pricing, how to reserve a puppy and to answer many questions.  


 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:

Oh these puppies are just so amazing!  I’m so excited to be able to keep one!  So, I’m just like all of you just waiting patiently until I can scoop her up and cuddle her. No, I still don’t know just which one is ours.  I know a few of you have expressed interest in the dark pink girl.  So, I know she is a favorite.  If anyone else has a favorite, let me know. That may help us decide.  

We are wanting to carry on more of our Duke/Daphne blonds.  So that kicks out dark pink for us and probably Lavender as she has a lot of dark in her as well.  My daughter Jessica has it narrowed down to Light pink and purple for her favorites.  Lime green is her real favorite, but I think she knows we need more of a retriever face for our breeding program.  Lime green has kind of stolen my heart though.  So, we will see.  This is one of those litters where every single one is laid back, gentle, smart and will do well in any situation.  They remind me so much of our Duke/ Daphne litters so long ago. I think Jessica has become incredibly attached to each one so this litter will be hard to say goodbye to for her.

Right now everyone single one knows their sit command!  They also sit patiently waiting to be picked up.  

Everyone has received their first set of shots.  The next will be due at 9 weeks old.  I’m emailing all of this information to you this week so you can schedule your first vet appointments.  All details will be in this email coming either Sunday or Tuesday.  Your invoices will also be emailed at this time.  If paying via credit card or venmo- you can do that at the time you receive your invoice.  Otherwise, cash is accepted at pick up.  If you prefer to pay via credit or venmo at pick up, just let me know.  We can do that too, we just need to plan for the time it takes for that so we don’t run over your appointment time.  For Venmo payments (no fees involved with this or cash) make sure you have your account set up and your checking accounts confirmed. This can take up to a week.

The puppies are spending more time during the day away from mama.  They are nibbling on hard kibble once a day and by next week they will be fully weaned and on hard kibble. Weaning can be stressful, so we are starting our crate training with 3 to a crate and 2 to another. When we choose the puppy staying at Lamgo Farms, we will then have 2 to a crate.  Once fully weaned, I’ll remove my puppy from the group.

What Happens Next:

The puppies will start their final week here by crate training individually and continuing to learn a few commands.  These final 2 weeks are super full getting them ready to go home.  In your email being sent out this week (along with your temperament testing results) you will get all of the training reading material.  These are several files that deal with training for specific needs.  The only papers you need to read now are the Lamgo Farms Crate training.  

I’ve found that it is best to be prepared and have everything set up so puppy’s transition to your place is smooth.

Don’t forget about training!  If you are interested in Training- please check out www.HiltonButler.com for their puppy boot camp.  If you are long distance and wish to use this boot camp, Lamgo Farms will transport your puppy for their training which lasts 3 weeks.

For those using other trainers in your areas, keep in mind that they may require that second set of shots, especially the “kennel cough” prevention before you can train.  This is where our reading material comes in handy.  You can get started off on the right foot even before you can join a trainer.  

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.

  1. LF pick
  2. Neste- 12 noon

What’s Happening Now:

Just look at these precious babies!  Oh, my heart!  Everyone has a little different look from the other, and they are all beautiful and adorable in every way.  From the first pick to the last, each puppy is the pick of the litter with these little ones!  I just love them.  We are on week 4 now!  Can you believe it?  We are half way through already.

This week the puppies have received another preventative deworming dose.  They still spend a lot of time sleeping and nursing.  BUT- we have introduced them to Gruel, which is their first food.  It’s a mixture of our premium puppy food, nutritional supplement, milk replacer and warm water all blended to an oatmeal consistency.  They may be little, but they love to eat!

Sometime this week (Either Tuesday or Thursday) 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.

What Happens Next:

Week 5: Temperament testing.  Week 6: I will send out emails with reading material, temperament testing results and invoices for balances. Week 7: I will email puppy pick up instructions to prepare you for taking home your puppy.

These puppies are priced at $2,400

Picking and pick up are both on Saturday, March 14th.  Times are listed below.

Sanjay and Paddington F1bb Petites

Sanjay delivered 4 girls and 2 boys on my Mother’s birthday, February 11, 2020.  They are all red.  We may see a few lighten up to a peanut butter color.  But for now, they are all true reds.  I can see both wavy and curly coats.  It will take another few weeks to see if those coats will be a fleece or cotton.  

 

Everyone is a good size and they are thriving!  Right now their eyes and ears are closed so they use their sense of smell to locate mama and nurse.  They spend their time nursing and sleeping.

We do have the final 2 picking spots available in this litter so far.  I know I have had several emails and messages.  So if you do not see your name or I have not yet responded, please do check in with me.  I promise, you are not bothering me.  I sometimes need reminders when things get busy.

These puppies are a petite size maturing between 16-20 lbs.  Occasionally, we will have one or two smaller than estimated.  We will know this around week 5 if we have some that will be less than 16 lbs.  

Sanjay is doing great.  She is an excellent mama.

Everyone in this litter should have received your “Welcome” Email.  Please let me know if you did not.  

What Happens Next:

This year we are having our picking and pick up on the same day.  This way, owners can choose in person and make only one trip.  We have so many people from out of town that this has been the preference so far.

Our picking and pick up for this litter will be Saturday, April 4th.  This is the Saturday before Palm Sunday.  The puppies will be 2 days shy of 8 weeks old which is just fine.  We can avoid interrupting your Easter plans this way as well.  Your picking times are listed below.  Everyone gets one hour to choose your puppy and go through your puppy packets.  

The puppies will be having group pictures until their eyes open around 14 days old.  Then we will post individual pictures of each for you.

These puppies are priced at $2,100

  1. Arend-11am
  2. Nelson- double listed- 12 noon
  3. Cochrane- 1pm

A February cycle would have puppies going home around June-July 2020.  Rosita is one of Snowflake’s English Mini Goldendoodles.  She is more of a micro mini size as she takes after her daddy’s toy size.  But the English line runs through these tiny babies.  Colors are cream to light red.  Both wavy and curly coats.

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 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.
