Welcome to this week’s Update at Lamgo Farms! I’m happy you’ve found your way here to see just what is happening on the farm, with our family and of course, our furry friends.
We are in full Spring bloom here on the farm. The leaves are budding, flowers blooming, the grass is green and growing just enough to keep ahead of the sheep grazing and of course, new life is on the horizon.
The “farm mama kitty” delivered her kittens yesterday and a new bird’s nest was discovered earlier in the week. I’m always so in awe of nature and God’s creation.
Right now we are preparing for puppy picking today! This is always an exciting time on the farm when we invite our puppy owners out to choose their puppies. My next favorite day is puppy pick up. Right now we have a few puppies available in litters going home in April. These will most likely be males. Which is still a wonderful choice.
Since I am behind in this week’s update- I’ll be posting new pictures and video to the update on Monday. Boston’s litter is already updated.
After that our upcoming season is mostly full already. We are almost back to pre-covid where our lists fill up a year or two in advance for certain litters. I’m trying to keep a few surprise litters held back to offer something for those wanting a puppy right away.
The advantage to waiting on a list gives you the opportunity to get completely prepared, learn how we do things with our scheduling, training, etc.
This year we have added Lamb pick ups to the schedule! Right now we have five little lambs at Lamgo Farms. It has been truly a joy and the experience of a lifetime. We have one more to go before the BIG herd begins in a few weeks.
Right now we are down to a wait list only for our Babydoll and Harlequin Ewes. We do have reservations available for Harlequin wethers.
So if I do not get back to answering your questions right away- you know what we’re up to that is taking up our time. As always, thank you for your patience. Feel free to reach out to me via text anytime. 817-366-7995. Talking on the phone right now is a little impossible but I can arrange an appointment to chat.
One more thing. . .don’t forget to place your Farm Fresh Chicken Egg order when you come to the farm for your visit or puppy pick up. The ladies are laying at least 2 dozen a day. They are awesome! You can order through our store or just do a Venmo. They are $4 a dozen. This is a pick up in person only.
Moving on now- let’s scroll on down to see just what is going on in each of your litters this week. . .

Thank you for considering us. Now, let’s scroll on down to see just which puppies we have available and what we have coming up. . .
Current Litters and Available Puppies
Boston and Paddington F2b Mini Goldendoodles
Boston delivered 5 boys and 1 girl on Thursday, February 16, 2023. The first pick of this litter has been reserved and will be choosing the only girl. Only boys are available. These puppies will be chosen on April 1st and will go home April 15.
These babies will mature between 20-30 lbs. Welcome letters have been emailed. Please let me know if you have not received yours. Video will start next week.
Final 2 Picking spots available- Males
What’s Happening Now:
It’s finally week 6 and we are ready for puppy picking weekend! Each of you should have received your temperament testing results and your picking schedule and information. Please let me know if you did not receive these.
Puppies are all doing well and in the beginning phase of the weaning process. They will be spending nights away from mom and just nurse in the morning and again at bedtime. This allows them the socialization and comfort of momma while weaning. This also allows momma the ability to wean slowly without causing her any discomfort.
We have the final picking spot available in this litter. I’ll make the announcement as to just which one at the end of picking day. It will be one of these little boys.
What Happens Next:
Week 6: Puppies are crate training with a buddy at this time to ease into the crate without the stress. We will also work on a few commands at this stage.
Week 7: Puppies will now be alone in their crates during crate training time with their scented item from home.
Week 8: Going Home!
Boston’s Past Puppy
Pearl and Kevin’s F1b Mini Sheepadoodles
Pearl delivered 3 girls and 6 boys on my daughter’s birthday, February 27. We have male picking spots available. These are a miniature size maturing around 20-30 lbs. The are typically shorter and more of a stocky build. The coats are to die for. Puppy picking will be Saturday, April 8 and pick up will be Saturday, April 22.
Pearl is an F1 Moyen Sheepadoodle and is the daughter of our Poppins and Banks. Pearl and Amethyst are sisters so we expect this litter to look quite like our recent Amethyst pups that have already gone home. This is Pearl’s first litter.
The Girls’ Collar colors: Pink, Purple, and Lime Green (all black with white markings)
The Boys’ Collar colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green and Burgundy
Four Picking Spots Available
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, April 5th.
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!

Jasmine and Beans F1bb (Pocket/Petite’s)
Jasmine delivered 5 girls and 4 boys on March 4. This litter combines both our Pocket size (8-15 lbs) and our petites (16-20 lbs). Most will mature around 13-16 lbs, however around weeks 4 and 5 we will note some smaller and others that will be larger than that normal range.
The first pick of this litter is taking lime green girl.
I will be able to see in a few days just which puppies will be curly and which will be wavy. The colors are all shades of red and peanut butter.
Jasmine is the daughter of our Mrs. Beasley, one of our most famous doodles. Her puppies are all very sweet, loving, smart and like to cuddle.
Litter Reserved
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 and Paddington’s F2b English Red
Mini Goldendoodles
Rosita delivered 3 girls and 4 boys on March 17. Sadly, we did lose the tiny little girl. So we have just 2 girls and 4 boys. Right now, based on preferences of those on this list, we do have male picking spots availalbe.
These puppies will go home May 13 (the day before Mother’s Day).
The girls: Lavender and pink collars
The boys: blue, dark green, orange and yellow collars
3 picking spots available
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.

Our UPCOMING Breeding Season!!!
Our next breeding season will have puppies going home between May through August 2023. I will try to get pictures of the parents up over the next few weeks. You can take a look at prior weekly updates to see pictures of parents and past puppies.

Ethel/Beans F1b Petite Double Doodles: 16-20 lbs. The Double Doodle is the cross between a Mini Labradoodle and a Mini Goldendoodle. We then took the product of that which is Ethel and bred her to a toy poodle, Beans to give us the F1b Generation. The result is a soft cotton wavy or curly coat that is a deep red. We often have chocolate noses and the eyes tend to look more like a labradoodle. The addition of the golden retriever in the line and diluted lab means a very sweet and loving doodle without the excessive damage a Lab puppy can bring. Breeding in April with puppies going home around Aug/Sept 2023. $2100.- picking spots available
The FALL/Winter schedule will be posted in May.
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.

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.
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.
