Welcome back to another update at Lamgo Farms! I’m so happy you’ve stopped by to see just what is happening with our Pastures, People and Pets!
First things first. . .for those on social media platforms. . .you’ll be excited to know that I finally have my Facebook page back! Yay!!!! No more photo bombing my Instagram followers. I just decided to give it a try and login today. The screen suddenly said that my identity had been confirmed! I’m not sure the purpose behind my being locked out the past two weeks, but I’ve certainly discovered areas in my business that I need to move to the front burner. My updating my website is now front and center!
It feels so good to be back writing another update. The move has been going great. We’re still moving parts of the farm but we are almost completely moved in now. Thank you all so much for the sweet well wishes and congratulations.
We are so excited to have brand new babies just born yesterday! Our Charmin delivered 5 girls and 4 boys. They are absolutely beautiful. Having a few more than I expected, we do have two picking spots available in her litter. I’ll be emailing welcome letters to those on her list sometime this week.
I appreciate your incredible patience waiting for me to answer email, messages and to send welcome letters. All welcome letters have been emailed for Boston, Sanjay and Bella litters. If you did not receive one, please check your spam folders and let me know so I can make sure you get yours.
Now that the puppies are getting older, we are about to be busy with our tight schedule. We’ve been preparing and getting ready to take care of all of these babies over the next several weeks. Keeping a schedule makes sure each puppy is getting smothered with attention, being handled with care and loved on all day long.
I’ll be getting back to my old schedule of answering emails on Tuesday and Thursdays. This will keep me focused to make sure I can handle all of the inquiries as well as getting out updated information to our new puppy owners.
For those just getting started. . .once a litter is born, I’ll forward a welcome letter that gives all important dates and information to make sure you are prepared when you take your little one home.
As always, if you do not hear back from me in a decent amount of time, please do reach out again. I appreciate the reminders.
Now for a little personal update on me. For those just joining us for the first time, you may notice my voice on my YouTube videos tends to sound like I’m always recovering from some kind of cold. No worries, I’m perfectly well. I was diagnosed with a vocal cord nodule three years ago. Unfortunately, it has been getting worse and in order to get the little scratchy voice you hear requires days of rest and recovery after talking for the day.
So this week I’ll be heading to Dallas to visit a great Otolaryngologist for another scope to take a look to see just what is going on. Prayers are always appreciated. I am more than ready to be able to speak clearly and sing again.
Ok, now that we’ve covered the basics plus a few extras. . .let’s wrap this portion of the update up and scroll down to see just what is happening in each of your litters.
Current Litters. . .
Boston/Paddington
F2b Red TeddyBear Mini Goldendoodles. 20-30 lbs.
Boston delivered 4 girls and 3 boys on March 15. Puppies will go home May 7th.
Boy Collar Colors: Red, Black and Orange
Girl Collar Colors: Lime Green, Dark Pink, Purple and Turquoise
What’s Happening Now:
These sweet babies are already 3 weeks old! They are walking and talking and love being held! My three youngest are enjoying them so much. Ava’s favorite is Lime Green, Sara loves Turquoise and of course Nathan loves little Orange boy. These favorites can change by the hour though.
The puppies have received their first deworming and are now being socialized twice a day by the kids, Phil and myself. Although we handle and hold them from the moment they’re born, we start sensory stimulation during our socializing time at 2 weeks old.
This is when we hold them on their backs and touch and massage certain areas to promote a more calm demeanor, bonding with humans and promoting better overall health.
The puppies have also already started the potty training process. Yep, you read that right. At 2 weeks old we place a potty pad just off to the side of their bedding. They don’t like to eliminate where they sleep so they walk to the potty pad, do their business and then make their way back to bed.
Because at 2 weeks old they’re eyes were closed- they used their sense of smell and their sense of touch to locate the potty pad. This early learning curve is what helps us continue to potty train using the potty pads in their play area along with the crate, potty training bells and going outside.
What Happens Next:
Week 4: Another preventative de-worming, Directions to the farm and puppy picking instructions will be emailed.
Week 5: Temperament testing
Week 6: Temperament testing results are emailed, Puppy Picking (virtually)
This Litter is all Reserved.
Sanjay/Beans
F1bb Pocket Goldendoodles– 8-15 lbs
Sanjay delivered 5 girls and 1 boy on March 19th. These puppies are going home May 21st. Welcome letters have been emailed. If I do not get confirmation after a week, picking spots will open up.
Boy Collar Colors: Black
Girl Collar Colors: Yellow, Turquoise, Dark Pink, Purple, and Lime Green
What’s Happening Now:
Oh these little chunkers are beyond precious! Sanjay’s pockets are always so very tiny and so so sweet. These babies, although small are just so fat! I just want to squeeze them. Don’t worry- I’m restraining myself. They are all thriving and doing well. With babies so small that is always our main goal. . .that they will gain weight! Well, we’ve accomplished that just in the first three weeks.
Right now the puppies are still nursing and sleeping most of the time. We will see them become more active next week.

Orchid and Ivy Update:
Unfortunately things did not go as planned for our Orchid and Ivy English Retrievers. Ivy’s insemination did not take and sadly, Orchid delivered 2 babies that did not survive birth. I have moved everyone from these lists to Bella’s litter as well as a few on Charmin’s litter to ensure everyone has a picking spot in a litter with your preferences in mind. Please check your email for welcome letters and shoot me a text at 817-366-7995.
Bella/Paddington
English Creme Goldendoodles.
Bella delivered 6 girls and 5 boys on March 23. These babies will be going home May 14.
Boy Collar Colors: Dark Blue, Dark Green, Red, Black and Orange
Girl Collar Colors: Turquoise, Lime Green, Dark Pink, Light Pink, Yellow and Purple
What’s Happening Now:
These gorgeous babies are now 2 weeks old and all eyes and ears are now open! Right now instead of scooting around they are now crawling and snuggling up to us during socialization time.
From 2 weeks on we practice social stimulation with our puppies. This is where we take each puppy and while holding them we massage certain pressure points of the body to ensure bonding, promote optimal health and more. Our babies get hands on in so many ways from a variety of ages.
All of this combined with the wonderful English Creme genetics is what makes this litter wonderful for therapy and service for our owners.
This week the puppies have had their first preventative deworming. They will continue to have dewormings every 2 weeks until they go home.
What Happens Next:
Next week we’ll have their first video posted to our Youtube channel, “Happenings at Lamgo Farms.” Make sure you subscribe to be notified when a new video is posted.
F2b English Creme Mini (some medium) Goldendoodles– 1 picking spots available. 25-40 lbs. Most are in the 25-30 lb range. The mediums can get up to 40 lbs.

Charmin/Paddington
Charmin delivered 5 girls and 4 boys on April 8. Pictures coming!!!
There are 2 picking spots available. I’ll be emailing Welcome letters to those on the list this next week. Some of the owners that were on our Ivy and Orchid lists have been moved here to hold picking spots just in case! I don’t want anyone to miss out.
We will be having a Vet visit this next week and Dew claws will be removed. Eyes and ears are currently closed but we will start to see those first slits of eyes opening around day 14. Once eyes open, I will post individual pictures of the puppies both here and on our Facebook page.
Video starts at week 3. Each Friday (sometimes Saturday) I post video of each litter on our Youtube Channel, “Happenings at Lamgo Farms.”
Breeding:
Bred and waiting for confirmation of pregnancy: Parker Pockets (Kevin sire), Diana (Burton sire). Puppies for these litters would go home mid to late July. Picking spots open.
Currently breeding: Emerald (Paddington is the sire) and Ethel (Beans is the sire). Puppies would go home around the beginning to mid August. Picking spots available.
We typically breed every other cycle. There are times we do breed back when a mom is off cycle or we will breed back and skip the next cycle. Each mama is different and their health and the health of the puppies is the most important. If we feel a mama is not ready to have another litter, we will pass up a cycle.
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.
To be placed on our generic list (for instance- red mini’s or cream petites) simply send me an email to info@LamgoFarms.com with your preferences, email address and name and I will put you on our master list. Once we have our line up for that preference- I will place your name on the list. Once breeding begins- we will request your deposit.
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? Please send me an email to Info@LamgoFarms.com outlining your preferences such as size, color, coat type (wavy vs curly), gender, and any special circumstances I need to be made aware of for your situation.
I’ll need your name, email address and phone number. Once you are ready, you can make your deposit payment by choosing the PUPPY DEPOSIT button below. Deposits are non refundable but are moveable from one litter to another.
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. Regular puppy pickings will commence this coming Summer 2022!!! 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. We also send home a 30 day free enrollment with Trupanion Pet Health insurance.
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 $550. 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?
Our current pricing is: $1950-$2100. Please Text Sandi at 817-366-7995 for current Pricing details.
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.
