Welcome to this week’s UPDATE at Lamgo Farms! I’m so excited you’ve found your way here to see just what is happening on our Farm, with our Family and of course, with all of our Furry Friends!
I am back and ready to update you all on what puppies we have available, what is coming up; and with this cooler weather -I’m ready to share a little more about CHRISTMAS PUPPIES. The good, the bad, and the tinsel of it all. Come on, you know there aren’t any in the ugly category. Lol!
We currently have Mini Golden Sheepie Doodle puppies (male and females) and 2 male Lilly red mini goldendoodle puppies available and ready to go home! They are all 8 weeks old. Scroll down below to see info, pricing and pictures.
We just completed our Charmin Mini Goldendoodle litter picking this weekend and had a few owners move around at the last minute. Because of this, I now have males available in this litter as well. These puppies will go home November 4.
Our final Goldendoodle litter that will go home before Christmas is our Ivy/Wallace F1 Mini English Cream Goldendoodle litter that is scheduled to go home November 11.
There are 4 picking spots remaining in this litter. Our selection process for this litter is October 28.
Poppins and Banks’ Sheepadoodle litter is the final litter we have going home before Christmas. They will go home November 18.
I understand as we approach the Holiday season that some owners would like to present a puppy as a Christmas gift. While we do often have Christmas puppies available, I usually send them home with special instructions due to what can be an overwhelming experience.
Should You give a Puppy for a Christmas Present?
This is an awesome idea but I have a few points to touch on to help you understand why a Christmas puppy may not always be a good idea and. a few things to consider for those getting a Christmas puppy.
- Planning vs Emotional Purchase: If you have already been planning on getting a puppy for several months or more and are already prepared to bring a puppy into your home, then a Christmas puppy is simply a matter of timing. That doesn’t cause me any concern. But if the holidays are approaching and now you’ve started considering a puppy, I would like to voice my caution towards the last minute decision for the sake of the puppy, the breeder and of course your own sanity. Not being prepared for the 14-17 year commitment for a doodle due to unpreparedness will usually end in frustration, sorrow and the ultimate rehoming of the puppy after Christmas. Consider purchasing items for the puppy, wrapping them and placing them under the tree. If you’ve placed. a deposit. on puppy- print out a picture, frame it and use that as a gift. Include the kid in the exciting part of picking up the puppy. For a puppy prior to Christmas- enjoy purchasing puppy related items for your kids. Your puppy is still a gift. It can still be a surprise, just not the only gift or surprise.
- Holiday Stress: The holiday season usually means extra time away from the home, traveling and visitors. When you first take home a puppy, it is a newborn. This means that while puppy loves people and enjoys being held and played with- you need to continue protecting puppy while still so young. The puppy cannot be on public grounds or in public areas where he may come in contact with germs and/or viruses that he would not be able to fight at such a young age. Too many visitors, loud noises and an interrupted schedule can cause sensory overload which adds undo stress to the puppy which can cause illness. So if you do have visitors during the holiday season and you take home a Christmas puppy- keep puppy in the playpen in a separate room and keep up the schedule as much as possible.
- Puppyhood Chores: It’s Christmas morning and you’ve just watched that magical moment of watching the kids open their present which is a brand new puppy! So exciting! But then what? I’ve had some parents tell me that the puppy is their children’s only present. That’s not always the best way to go about investing in a new puppy. Not to hand out parenting advice, but as a breeder- I’ve seen disappointed children when the big gift of a puppy is the only present or the only big present. The puppy will have spurts of energy during those first two weeks home and then will sleep. Remember- even if you are tired- puppy still needs to potty train, be entertained, fed and for that first week at home- will need to be let out in the middle of the night.
- Health Followup: Vet appointments need to be made prior to taking home a Holiday puppy. Many offices are closed during the holidays so make sure your breeder contract states when you must see a vet. If you get a Christmas eve puppy, you may not be able to comply with your contract with a proper timed vet visit. So make sure you set up your vet visit prior to picking up your puppy.
- Preparation, Supplies and a Plan: All the supplies! Be prepared. Gather your puppy things and look at your schedule and plan. When it comes to doodles, training is a must. Begin with basic puppy manners and potty training. Consistency is key! Use your playpen with a pottypad as a back up while moving towards your goal of housetraining. Use your crate and potty training bells. Be consistent in rewards as well as redirecting and correcting negative behavior. Doodles are smart and while we prepare our owners for training, acclimating and living with a new doodle, we understand that a last minute purchase comes with its challenges. If you do decide to purchase a puppy for Christmas, prepare as much as you can and have reasonable expectations for puppy hood both during and after the Holiday busy season. Having that realistic outlook will be your key to success for both your puppy and your family.
So what do I suggest if you want to get a Lamgo Farms’ puppy but want it for Christmas? A few thoughts- consider checking out www.HiltonButler.com and see if they have any puppy boot camp training/boarding classes between your puppy going home and Christmas. This is a great way to get closer to Christmas day while your puppy is being both cared for and trained by a professional.
EXTENDED STAY: Lamgo Farms has an extended stay program where we can keep your puppy for an additional length of time for $30 per day. Puppy will keep up the same schedule of crate training, potty training and socialization. Any vaccinations needed during this stay will be given and will be included in the fee. December 22nd is the latest we would be able to keep a puppy.

This is a new breed created here at Lamgo Farms. Ruby has now had 3 litters and her puppies are absolutely brilliant! This is our number one litter for service dogs out of all of our doodle litters.
The Mini Golden Sheepie Doodle is the combination of a Golden Sheepie and a toy poodle. What is a Golden Sheepie you ask? The Golden Sheepie is a mixture of our White English Cream Golden Retriever, Snowflake and our Old English Sheep Dog, Banks. Ruby is their daughter. The beautiful round head and face makes for the perfect teddybear fluffy look. The colors of this breeding are usually Cream, black with white markings and sometimes red.
The coats are a soft cotton wavy coat. There is minimal shedding during the first year around 9 weeks old, 4 mos old and 11 months old. This is when the real mature “hair” comes in. This breed is mixing two bird and retrieving dogs along with a herding dog. This makes for an excellent canvas to create the perfect service or therapy dog. They are easy to train but consistency is key.

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.

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.

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.

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.
