Welcome back to another update at Lamgo Farms! I’m so happy to be back this week sharing just what is happening with our Family, Farm and Furry Friends!
As you can see, I’ve been offline for a while and it’s been a few weeks since updating here on this blog. I’m so sorry for my disappearance and appreciate your returning this week!
So much has been happening the past few weeks. We have two litters on the ground right now and another due this week!
We are so excited to be babysitting one of our locally owned Jasmine puppies! Saying goodbye to him was easy knowing he would be back for a visit. If you remember, we kept little black collar boy, Bueller. So he and his brother have been having a good time reuniting.
We are currently in a season of retiring some of our breeding mama’s while continuing our generations with puppies we’ve held back as well as introducing a few new lines to the mix.
We have a brand new baby girl, Petra who is a red Merle mini Australian Shepherd with the most beautiful blue eyes!
Yep, you’ve guessed it, we will be starting a line of Petite and Mini AussieDoodles. I posted her picture on our Instagram page and well, we already have a picking list for her first litter which won’t be for a while.
So this season will continue to be busy but we are planning a little time off after our December litters go home. We will start back up with our Spring 2022 litters, but for now this is the plan.
Our Snowflake only delivered two little babies who are no longer available. So I will not be updating her on here. Snowflake has been giving us this pattern lately so we have decided to make the hard decision and retire her. After weaning she has a new home already lined up excited to love on her.
You’ll see our Lina has been paired up with Samson for a red/cream medium Goldendoodle litter which will be her final breeding. We are anxiously waiting another three weeks to confirm pregnancy with ultrasound.
We have a few ultrasounds lined up this next week to confirm pregnancy for Sanjay, Boston and Charmin. I haven’t yet listed Sanjay and Boston but once pregnancy is confirmed- I will add them here.
**As always- If I have missed your name on a list or made any mistakes, please shoot me a text as a reminder. I do not mind this! Understand it’s been a crazy few weeks so I can certainly miss something and will make sure to correct any mistakes.
For those of you interested in getting on a list for a puppy:
- email info@LamgoFarms.com or text 817-366-7995
- Give your name and any preferences you have for your puppy such as size, coat type (wavy vs curly) color and timing to take your puppy home.
- Once I know what you prefer- I will let you know what lists would be a good match.
I wanted to take just a moment to address our Pricing on our puppies for 2021. I realize our Website lists a few different price points for our pockets vs our larger litters. Our pricing as listed below in the FAQ section is $2100 plus 6.25% sales tax which adds up to be $131.25. So the total for a Lamgo Farms puppy for 2021 and 2022 no matter the size, generation, color or gender will be $2,231.25.
In the past we have been including the sales tax in the price and although this new pricing took place January 2021- it has taken me a little while to get through all of our deposits that had come in prior to 2020. If you placed your deposit prior to January 2021- please send me a reminder so we can include you in our past pricing.
We want to remain competitive in the area of pricing to allow owners the ability to afford these sweet babies all while making sure we are still able to send each puppy off with a good puppy packet as well as maintaining our facilities and care for all of our dogs within our program. This is the hard part of what we do.
Now, on to a little about me. Thank you all so much for the sweet messages and prayers for my back surgery. I knew to expect the first few days to be rough. And boy were they rough! I was shy to let everyone know that on that third day- I had almost no pain. I didn’t want to Jinx it. Haha! It was amazing. Probably a little too amazing as I spent all day cleaning and catching up on laundry.
All of that bending and lifting could have been a little too much. From the fourth day on the pain has been increasing and I am now worse than before the surgery.
So now what? Well, I have an appointment this coming week with my surgeon to go over our next steps. In the mean time I have been sentenced (haha) to more physical therapy.
Because of the surgeries, I am doing aqua therapy to strengthen my core and leg muscles damaged in my injury. Fun right? Well. . .you know me. . .apparently I require every aspect of my life to be amplified.
About three quarters of the way through my session yesterday- I became sick to my stomach. Just imagine gagging with mask on- climbing out of a pools with ankle weights-sliding from one end of the bathroom to the big stall in hopes that no one would hear me. I barely had time to rip off that mask!
It was completely embarrassing and discouraging but looking back- hilarious. My physical therapist felt the pain level yesterday caused me to be sick. I say the hot temperature of the pool and motion made me sea sick. Haha! I mean seriously- it’s August in Texas. . .let’s get at least room temperature. I kind of felt like a lobster dinner in there.
Well, I’ll find out for sure on Monday when I return for another aqua session just why I was so sick. I do have hope that we will at least get me out of this particular level of pain. It’s just difficult to manage so many appointments, high pain and still try to maintain an active lifestyle. The nerve damage to my leg and foot is permanent. So we just manage that with medication and vitamins.
I realize I will never get to be who I was prior to my injury. I’m just needing to obtain the quality of life I need for my family, job and mental health. That was the part about all of this that I did not anticipate. The mental aspect.
I do believe caring for these puppies has been my best therapy so far. It keeps me physical even when I’m not sure I can do it. It helps me focus on the very next thing instead of what I can’t do. And finally. . .emotional therapy. I have to admit I just sometimes sit under the pile of fluff without any agenda, training or time frame.
Petting puppies or really any animal you enjoy releases “happy hormones” which has been the best therapy for me lately.
The thing about my dogs and puppies. . .they love me no matter how I may limp, grunt when I stand up or sit down or even just sit with them instead of running around. This is what makes doodles my favorite. They love just being with you and they don’t judge!
They rarely make fun of my mismatched socks and messy hair bun.
I say they are awesome listeners but who knows. . .when I leave they could all turn to each other and say, “holy cow! can you believe she told us that?”
Ok, while this has actually been a little theraputic- I’m sure you are wanting to get to real reason you are here. . .so let’s scroll on down to see just what is happening in each of your litters this week. . .

F2bb Medium Goldendoodles
As Lina’s final litter, we will be mixing her with our Samson to create another one of our most loved generations, the F2bb.
This is another litter with our wonderful English lines from our White English Creme Retriever, Bison who has Denmark lines.
Lina is a white standard Poodle and Samson is a red English Mini Goldendoodle. Colors are expected to be all shades of red and cream. The F2bb generation typically gives us more wavy coats, however, we do often get some curly in the mix as well.
Samson is one of our Bella/Paddington puppies we kept back. He has a small patch of white on his chest so it will be interesting to see if that passes on to his puppies. Bella is one of our Brie and Bison babies. Brie is a Moyen fading red poodle.
So once again we have puppies coming from some great long proven beautiful lines.
I have moved a few of our owners from our Snowflake list that did not give us the puppies needed for our owners. This does not mean you are dedicated to this litter- I just wanted to hold a spot before they fill up.
Lina has completed the breeding process. We will now wait 3 weeks to confirm pregnancy via ultrasound.

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 PUPPY DEPOSIT 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? *** COVID-19: All pickings will be conducted virtually at this time. 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? *** COVID-19: All pickings will be conducted virtually at this time. 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 25, 20, 19, 17, 12, 5, 4 and 2 yrs 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: First set of shots, Crate, potty training bells, nutritional supplement, toys, treats, scented blanket from littermates, training material, folder with health records, Vet check prior to going home, 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.
What is your pricing? Sales Tax has now been added to the price. Sales tax is an additional 6.25%. ($131.00) For those who have already placed your deposits, tax is included in your purchase price.
All puppies are priced at $2100 plus sales tax which is $131.25 for a total of $2,231. The Deposit does go towards the balance.
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. Breeding a Lamgo Farms’ puppy will result in a fine. We are pro-breeding and we support many other breeders, we just do not sell for that purpose especially for those who intend to breed for hobby of for just the experience of having a litter. Puppies not fixed by the requested time frames will void the Health Warranty.
What sets Lamgo Farms apart from other Goldendoodle breeders? First, having 17 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, mom and daddy dogs 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 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.
