Welcome back to another update on Lamgo Farms! I’m excited you’ve found your way here to see just what is happening this week with our pets, people and pastures!
In our last update I noted that I would be touching on Potty Training in this update. After writing all about it I realized it would be best in a post all on its own to help puppy owners and breeders alike.
It’s been a busy but very rewarding week for us on the farm. We have added to our doodle count with two new litters!
Ivy, our English Cream Retriever, delivered 11 puppies yesterday! Eleven!!! When Phil counted, I tried correcting him by saying, You mean Lilly, not Ivy. Because Lilly usually has between 10-12 puppies per litter. But nope, it was indeed Ivy who delivered the larger litter.
And they are beyond beautiful! Delivering at the exact same time was Lilly! She delivered 9 babies for us. So just one shy of her normal. That isn’t bad and I’m sure she’ll appreciate a smaller litter for once.
These babies are almost all a nice deep velvet red. There is one little girl that is almost a cream color. You can see those English Cream lines coming through with her.
It is always such a beautiful miracle to witness an animal giving birth. For my children, it’s exciting but nothing special to them. They’ve been witnessing births their entire lives. Puppies, Kittens, Bunny’s, Horses, Cows, Buffalo. . .and of course, watching chickens and ducks hatch.
It’s just something that happens on the farm. Something they still enjoy oh so much but they rarely see what opportunities they have been afforded that others their ages have not.
My hope as I know is also with many of you, is to provide not only an animal but also a friend for our kids when choosing the perfect pet. It’s so important to match those personalities with temperaments that will compliment and complete rather than irritate or repel.
I’m always reminding owners that each of these puppies will be cute. But cute only goes so far if the personalities do not mix well. There is a personality for every owner and vice versa. So pay attention to the weekly videos and watch things such as personability, energy level, obedience, natural curiosity. Take notice of the puppies that are social butterflies and those that just want to play alone. Note who is shy and who is outgoing. None of these qualities are undesirable. BUT they can certainly steer you in the direction of your newest family member.
These are all normal puppy behaviors, however, some owners may need a puppy more outgoing and energetic if they are a family that likes to hike or bike ride or have children that want a playmate to match their energy levels. They will need a puppy that can keep up and enjoys the ride just as much as you.
We have some owners that need a pet for a specific therapy or service. We will assess each puppy for you on those levels to give you the best options for your choice. Keep in mind that we simply arm you with the information about each puppy and it is your decision and choice that counts.
And of course, on top of all of that is looks. We want you to love the look of your puppy both now and when mature. Never feel bad that you hold looks high on the list. That is most likely why you have chosen this breed. I am all for you getting your hearts’ desire.
Speaking of your hearts’ desire. . .let’s scroll on down to see just what is happening in each of your litters.

Thank you for considering us. Now, let’s scroll on down to see just which litters we will be expecting in a few weeks. . .
Upcoming Litters for the FALL 2022 Season. . .
Rosita/Paddington F2b English Mini Goldendoodles
Rosita delivered 3 boys and 3 girls on September 5th.
I have 1 picking spot available in this litter. Puppies will go home October 29. Puppy Picking will be October 15.
Welcome letters have been emailed. Please let me know if you did not receive yours. Sometimes they end up in a bulk or spam folder.
What’s Happening Now:
The puppies are now one week old and growing! They are getting chunky already. Right now the puppies are spending most of their time nursing and sleeping. Because their eyes and ears are closed, they use their sense of smell to locate mama for warmth, comfort and nursing.
At this stage the puppies cannot eliminate on their own. Mama must lick them to stimulate elimination. So mama is constantly licking puppies to stimulate elimination and then of course, the clean up. I know that’s all probably a little TMI for some of you. BUT, it’s always good to know just what is happening at each stage of your new baby’s life.
What Happens Next:
Around day 14 we will begin to see those little eyes start to open. The ears open around the same time.Week 2 is a whole new world for a doodle in the fact that they can now hear us and mama and can see!
Week 2 is also a big week because potty training begins this week. Yep. We place a potty pad next to their bed which actually is a nice thick bath rug. Because puppies do not want to eliminate where they sleep, they will crawl to the potty pad and after using it, they will crawl back to the rug. This is how we begin the potty training stage.
Eventually we begin moving that potty pad farther and farther away until they are then using a potty patch which is a little patch of grass. Once we get them use to it, we then let them go outside to potty.
Week 2 is when we will begin individual pictures. I will post pictures each week on our Facebook page and then here on the update. The Facebook pictures will be up first and then I will post here. If you are not on Facebook, please let me know and I can text you pictures.
Rosita typically gives us all shades of red in her litter with mostly wavy coats and a few curly. These puppies mature between 20-30 lbs.
Lilly/Beans F1b Mini Goldendoodles
Lilly delivered 6 boys and 3 girls on Monday, September 12. So a puppy or two less than she normally gives us. But these babies are beautiful and we are so thankful for each one of them!
Sadly we did lose one of the little red girls this morning. She was a little smaller and we were watching her carefully as her tummy felt enlarged to me. As tragic as any loss can be, I am always thankful that nature can take its course and mama can sense these things. I would rather endure a loss at this stage than later in the process. So we are down to one red girl and one cream girl in this litter.
Puppies are still less than 24 hrs old at this publication- so I will have more about them in a few days. Please follow our Facebook page for updates on pictures between weekly updates. I am seeing both wavy and curly coats. I will have new pictures in a few days showing genders.
I know we have several who are preferring females over males in this litter. Please keep in mind that a neutered male (neutered at the appropriate time prior to hormones setting in) is the best most laid back and docile of the genders. Marking is something seen in owners who neuter after 5 months of age. Since I’m mentioning marking- keep in mind that females not spayed on time (after 6 mos of age) will also mark. If you have any questions about genders, temperaments, health, etc, please feel free to text me. I’m happy to have that conversation with you.
I will be emailing welcome letters on Friday. This will have all of the important dates, etc to help you prepare for puppy picking and pick up. At that time I will ask for your gender preference and then can share that information with the other owners so everyone knows their chance of getting their desired gender.
If you feel you will not be offered the gender of your choice due to your picking spot, we can move you to another litter.
Right now we have 3 picking spots available.
Poppins/Banks F1 Moyen Sheepadoodles
Poppins’s is expecting! Puppies are estimated to be due September 23, 2022. Puppies are expected to go home around mid November.
These puppies are absolutely beautiful! They are black and white or brindle and white. The black typically fades although Poppins is a black and white Tuxedo poodle with a non fading gene so some puppies will follow the Sheepdog fading and others will follow Poppins’ non fading gene and will stay dark black with white markings.
These puppies mature around 45-55 lbs. Poppins usually has 9 puppies in a litter. Right now we have 7 picking spots available.
Ivy/Burton F1 Mini English
Red and Cream Mini Goldendoodles (1st litter)-
Ivy delivered 7 boys and 4 girls on Monday, September 12. Absolutely beautiful babies! I am so excited about these little ones! For those of you who have followed us for a while, you know that it’s been a long time since I’ve had a full litter of F1 english cream doodles. Our Snowflake who is now retired, was our original English cream mama.
Ivy has a red American Golden Retriever mom and a White English Cream Golden Retriever dad. She has all of the beautiful qualities of the English cream but has a wonderful red coat giving us a nice variety of both red and cream doodles!
I cannot wait to watch them grow!
I will be emailing welcome letters on Friday. This will have all of the important dates, etc to help you prepare for puppy picking and pick up. At that time I will ask for your gender preference and then can share that information with the other owners so everyone knows their chance of getting their desired gender.
If you feel you will not be offered the gender of your choice due to your picking spot, we can move you to another litter.
Since we did not expect Ivy to deliver such a large litter, we have a number of picking spots available!! Please text me at 817-366-7995 to inquire.
Colors will be all shades of red and some cream or peanut butter colors. These puppies mature between 20-30 lbs and have wavy coats.
Sanjay/Bueller Petite Goldendoodles
Sanjay is expecting! She is due September 23, 2022. Puppies will go home mid to late November. This is a first litter for Bueller who is the son of our own Jasmine and Beans. He is a large Pocket Goldendoodle and has a very dark red soft cotton wavy coat. Sanjay usually delivers pocket puppies but we have paired her with Bueller to give us petites this time around. Lamgo Farms will be keeping the first pick of the litter. Right now we have 3 picking spots available.
Puppies will be all shades of red both wavy and curly coats. They are expected to mature around 13-18 lbs.
I don’t have an ultrasound picture to share as the vet couldn’t grab a good one. But she did confirm pregnancy.
FAQ:
What breedings do 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? 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. Owners unable to attend picking are welcome to choose virtually or by use of the weekly videos.
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 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? All of our parents have had their genetic testing. 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? You will be notified within 1 week 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 11 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.
We do offer an extended stay program that allows your puppy to stay an additional 3 to 4 weeks here at Lamgo Farms. We continue their schedule which includes their potty training, socialization and crate training. Any vaccinations needed during their stay is included with the exception of the Rabies vaccine- this will be given according to your county requirements and an extra charge may apply. The fee for our Extended stay program is $200 per week.
Do you fly puppies out of state? We are able to fly anywhere within the United States. In some circumstances we can also fly to the Territories. At this time we are not flying outside the States. We use a flight nanny to fly in cabin with your puppy from our airport to yours. Prices vary depending on Airline and ticket fees. Right now the price is around $650. We can also meet you at our airports in Dallas if you wish to fly in. We provide the carrier and have puppy all ready for you.

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.
