Welcome to this week’s update at Lamgo Farms! I’m so happy you’ve found your way here to see just what is happening with our Family, Farm and Furry Friends.
To INQUIRE about our current AVAILABLE PUPPIES! Scroll down, click the “continue Reading” and you will see all of our litters. KEEP SCROLLING–
It’s technically already Saturday so once again, I’m a little behind at the moment, so I’ll make this part of the update brief so you can scroll on down to see just what is happening in each of your litters this week.
Today is our first puppy picking of this new season! Rosita’s Mini Goldendoodles will be chosen today so I will know just which two puppies will be remaining by early afternoon. I had a last minute cancellation due to timing so we do have 2 puppies available in this litter.
I’ve also made notes for each litter as to just how many picking spots we have available at this time. I do have a handful of emails to return from this week that have inquired about available picking spots.
If you sent me an email this week- I will be returning those this weekend at the latest. Those inquiring of course will be first in line for picking spots over new inquiries.
We are watching a few of our females right now who are due to cycle. Ruby, Ethel and Petra are currently due to cycle. Unfortunately, we cannot control cycles- but we do know when they are due to show up. So right now we are still checking dogs every other day and once cycles begin, I will make a note of that here on the update.
Those being bred in October will be estimated to have puppies going home around February/March 2023. Jasmine isn’t due to cycle until November.
Knowing we are just a few weeks away from Halloween, I want to touch on something that is not always thought about during this holiday season.
Every Halloween I often hear of a puppy or grown doodle that has suffered from Chocolate poisoning. I know most people do know that dogs cannot ingest chocolate. But I’m not sure if everyone knows why or the effects chocolate can have on a dog or just how fatal it can be.
Chocolate contains theobromine as well as caffeine which are toxic to dogs. Dogs do not metabolize theobromine therefore depending on the weight of the dog and amount of chocolate ingested, your dog could have more mild effects such as vomiting and diarrhea, moderate effects such as seizures, irregular heart beat and even death.
Once ingested, symptoms usually show up within 6-12 hours however it has been noted that signs can be seen as early as just one hour. If you do suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, it is always best to call your vet and get your dog assistance immediately.
The sooner you get help, the more likely the method of treatment will result in a good outcome and in a shorter period of time. The longer the toxin stays in the system, the more damage is done and the more invasive the treatment. So if you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, don’t wait for those 6 hours to go by to see if you see any symptoms. Call your vet immediately!
Make a note of how much chocolate was eaten and what kind. This will help the vet know a little more about the toxicity levels. Darker chocolate and chocolates such as Baker’s chocolate will have more effects than lets say, one tiny M&M.
So now that we’ve established why your dog cannot have chocolate, let’s come up with a plan to keep your pup safe as Halloween approaches!
Here are just a few tips that have helped my family during the holidays to avoid some simple and innocent exposures to toxins such as chocolate candy:
- Keep your candy intended to be passed out up high and out of sight while you wait for Halloween night.
- Educate your children no matter how young on the dangers of just one bite of chocolate give to your pup.
- Plan to keep your pup in his/her crate Halloween night with a yummy chew, Kong filled with peanut butter or an age appropriate bone to keep them busy while enjoying their own treat.
- Have a designated place to open candy once the kids finish trick or treating. Preferably in a room where a door can be closed so if any is dropped on the floor, you do not have to worry.
- Keep candy up high and out of sight during the times the kids or you (yep, we all know it) are not eating it.
- The reason to keep it up high isn’t to keep it away from the kids- although that is a good idea since kids can get it down and leave it out. But the main reason would be so your dog does not find the candy and go to town on it.
- Holiday or not- make sure all chocolate products are stored up and out of reach of your pup even if in the pantry. One door left open can cause a world of issues for your puppy.
- Finally- It’s a good idea as with your kids- to keep an emergency Vet number where it can easily be found so you can call immediately if you do find your pup has ingested something toxic such as chocolate.

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 2 picking spots available in this litter. Puppies will go home October 29. Puppy Picking will be October 15.
Girls: Dark Pink, Purple, Lime Green
Boys: Dark blue, Black, Orange
What’s Happening Now:
This is such a fun stage with the doodles. They are waddling around, becoming a little more adventurous and everyone is starting to “talk” a little to me.
These sweet personalities are starting to show and when I’m sitting down and playing with them, they seem to be so grown up. But then when I see them on screen I realize they are still just little babies.
They are enjoying their gruel and we will be adding a few hard kibbles in their food as some teeth are starting to come in. Once everyone has their teeth in we will begin moving mama away during the day in preparation for full weaning.
What Happens Next:
Week 5: Temperament testing- Testing results will be emailed on Wednesday, Oct 12th. There will also be new video uploaded to our Youtube channel on the 12th for those choosing via video or virtually.
Week 6: Puppy Picking!!!! Please refer to your welcome letter for picking times.
Week 7: Crate training and bell potty training
Week 8: Going Home!
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 the final picking spots available. These will most likely be male picking spots.

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 3 picking spots available! This litter will go home November 19. These will be mostly female picking spots.
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
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 3 picking spots available in this litter. These will most likely be male picking spots.
What’s Happening Now:
This is such a fun stage with the doodles. They are waddling around, becoming a little more adventurous and everyone is starting to “talk” a little to me.

Week 6: Puppy Picking!!!! Please refer to your welcome letter for picking times.
Week 7: Crate training and bell potty training
Week 8: Going Home!
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.
2 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.
Puppies will be all shades of red both wavy and curly coats. They are expected to mature around 13-18 lbs.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
