September 28, 2022
Welcome back to another update at Lamgo Farms! I’m excited you’ve found your way here to see just what is happening with our Pets, People and Pastures this week.
To INQUIRE about our current AVAILABLE PUPPIES! Scroll down, click the “continue Reading” and you will see all of our litters. KEEP SCROLLING– Our newest little REDS- a petite and pocket size is the very last litter “Sanjay/Bueller.”
I first would like to lift up our owners, clients, friends and family who are being effected by Hurricane Ian tonight. We have many doodles who live right in the path of this storm. I pray all have been successful in evacuating and are safe tonight.
Many are sitting tonight not knowing the damage to their homes or what the future may hold. My heart goes out to you all.
Tonight’s topic is gonna continue to be weather related. Right now in the Dallas area it is hanging around 70 degrees and will get down into the 50’s as a low! Now you all know I’m singing praises tonight!
Me and my love for cold weather. . .that’s a topic you all know too well. And although I do believe my blood pressure has dropped a tad along with this temperature change; I do want to touch on some of the dangers the colder season brings to your dogs.
Living on a farm and raising dogs- we are quite familiar with contaminants, illness and parasites. It’s this last one that I want to mention tonight. In particular, Giardia.
Because this is something that both Vets and Breeders hear about a lot this time of year- I want to take some time to talk about the topic and make sure all of our puppy owners are prepared. So hang in there with me. I promise it’s worth the read.
Some people have the misconception that Giardia like some others is killed off or dormant in cold weather. For Giardia, it is just the opposite. That cooler weather combined with wet seasons is when we see Giardia making its rounds in dogs and cats of all ages.
Giardia is a parasite that is found in poop. If left on the grass for any length of time, it can stay in the grass and soil and re-contaminate pets that come in contact with that area. Giardia loves wet areas. Especially stagnant water like puddles.
So for instance if you take your dog for a walk and he either drinks from a puddle, walks through wet grass or puddles or even sniffs the moist ground where other animals have been- he could contract giardia.
Because of this parasite’s love of water- high water levels or a big rain storm can wash it into your own backyard.
So how do we prevent it? First- consider where you take your dog for play time or walks. Look out for those puddles around. Understand that Giardia is species specific but can certainly be spread by people walking through it therefore spreading it on their shoes or other animals that walk through it and contaminate other areas. Knowing this ahead of time, plan your walks on sidewalks or hard surfaces rather than muddy or grassy areas.
Keep sanitizing wipes on hand and wipe your dogs paws after a walk or after being out in your own backyard.
Look around your yard for areas that water can puddle. And when on a walk, keep your dog on the leash and discourage him from drinking out of puddles or eating off of the grass. I know that’s easier said than done for sure.
How do you know if your Doodle has contracted Giardia? Soft stools for more than a day, blood in the stool and although rare- sometimes even vomiting are signs of Giardia. I mention the one day for soft stools because especially in puppies, if a dog eats something non food related, it will upset the digestive tract and soft stool is the result. In this case- some canned pumpkin or plain yogurt will bring the stool back to normal.
But if that stool persists, your dog acts sick or you just don’t want to wait that day to see- call your vet and get an appointment. You’ll want to get a zip lock or some kind of baggie and collect a sample of the stool so your vet can test it. You may even be able to drop off the sample and they will all you with the results.
Giardia is treatable with a dewormer/Parasiticide and an antibiotic. You don’t want to do just one or the other. The two together will knock it out.
Because Giardia is so contagious, it can easily re-infect and the cycle seems to last forever. Make sure you pick up your dog’s poo right away. Keep up with wiping the paws, And make sure you are careful to wash your hands whenever you come in contact with the stool. Make sure any other pets who use the same yard are also tested (using a stool sample) and during treatment- make sure children wash their hands or even avoid contact with the dog for a few days until a good dosage has been given to your dog. Ok, is that enough about parasites and poop for one evening? I should think so! I’ll make next week’s topic is a little more upbeat.
I will end by announcing that our Sanjay delivered 3 girls and 4 boys today!! She may have been a week past her due date, but she gave us her usual 7.
I need to send out welcome letters for her litter and then I’ll know if we have any picking spots available. We do have a few spots left in our mini goldendoodle litters already born. So just scroll down to each litter section to see more info.
Thank you for sticking around this far!!! For those waiting on Welcome letters. . .they are coming! Thank you for your patience! Have a wonderful week!

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 the final 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.
Girls: Dark Pink, Purple, Lime Green
Boys: Dark blue, Black, Orange
What’s Happening Now:
It’s week 3 and the first video has now been posted to our Youtube channel “Happenings at Lamgo Farms.” Make sure you subscribe and turn on the notifications to make sure you know when videos are posted each week.
The puppies all have eyes open now and they are becoming more and more mobile each day. The kids like putting them down and calling them to see who will respond. Training seems to be happening a little early this time around for these babies.
This week we’ve continued socialization and basically, just loving on these babies.
What Happens Next:
Week 4: we will see the puppies more awake this week and we’ll see them start to play with each other at this point. We’ll see that they go from crawling to walking.
During this week the puppies will receive another deworming preventative.
Week 5: Temperament testing
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 has 6 boys and 2 girls- born on Monday, September 12.
Right now we have 2 picking spots available.
What’s Happening Now?
We are at the 2 week mark and Eyes are now opening up!! Little Lavender girl just opened her eyes today so I’ll need to post an updated picture of her.
This week begins our deworming process and potty training! We give a preventative dewormer every 2 weeks starting at 2 weeks old. This ensures your puppies do not go home with parasites. Usually your vet will continue this process with a monthly chew.
Potty training begins on the potty pad for us. The puppies crawl to the pad to eliminate and then crawl back to the bath rug we use as their bed. As they grow the potty pad is moved farther and farther away until they are going potty outside in their little protected grassy area.
While we’ve been holding and handling each puppy right from birth, this is the week we start our social stimulation. We massage certain points on the puppy as well as hold them on their backs. This has been proven to relax them as well as increase blood flow. This in itself has great health benefits as well as behavioral benefits. It’s amazing that this little routine we started years ago because it seemed so natural is now being adopted by breeders everywhere.
What Happens Next?
Week 3: Video begins this week!!! Yay!!! I’ve found that video along with the pictures each really does help with the selection process. For those first pick of the litter individuals- I recommend starting with your perfect puppy list and begin to rate your favorites as well as having a process of elimination. Are there any you don’t particularly care for? Make these notes to help with clarity the actual picking day as it can be overwhelming.
Poppins/Banks F1 Moyen Sheepadoodles
Poppins delivered 5 girls and 2 boys on Wednesday, September 21. I will be sending out welcome letters on Friday.
Right now we do have picking spots available! This litter will go home November 19.
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.
These puppies mature around 45-55 lbs.
Ivy/Burton F1 Mini English
Red and Cream Mini Goldendoodles (1st litter)-
Ivy has 6 boys and 3 girls born 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 have 5 picking spots available in this litter.
What’s Happening Now?
We are at the 2 week mark and right now we only have a few sets of Eyes opening up. As soon as all eyes are open, I’ll take individual pictures for you.
This week begins our deworming process and potty training! We give a preventative dewormer every 2 weeks starting at 2 weeks old. This ensures your puppies do not go home with parasites. Usually your vet will continue this process with a monthly chew.
Potty training begins on the potty pad for us. The puppies crawl to the pad to eliminate and then crawl back to the bath rug we use as their bed. As they grow the potty pad is moved farther and farther away until they are going potty outside in their little protected grassy area.

Are there any you don’t particularly care for? Make these notes to help with clarity the actual picking day as it can be overwhelming.
Since we did not expect Ivy to deliver such a large litter, we have 5 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 delivered 3 girls and 4 boys today! All are doing well! They are still quite tiny so we will watch them over the next few weeks and I can give a better assessment as to mature size.
Since Bueller is a large Pocket doodle, it is possible we could have some pocket sizes in here. But I won’t know anything for certain just yet.
Picking spots AVAILABLE!
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 2 picking spots available.
Puppies will be all shades of red both wavy and curly coats. They are expected to mature around 13-18 lbs.
Welcome letters will be emailed in a week and a few days.
Boston and Paddington’s F2b Mini Goldendoodles
Boston’s pregnancy has been confirmed. She is due to deliver around October 15. Boston’s babies come in a variety of colors from cream to red. Many of the reds do have white markings. The F2b generation will give us mostly wavy coats without shedding. We have had a few curly coats per litter.
This is a Christmas litter! Puppies will go home just before Christmas around December 19.

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 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.

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.
