If you’re looking to adopt a goldendoodle puppy this year, we’ve got a few little doodle babies from our current litter who are available for adoption. Red and Elmo are male goldendoodle pups. They are F1b standards and should have fluffier, curlier coats. They are five weeks old at the moment, so should be ready to go their new homes in mid-October. If you would like more information on how to adopt a goldendoodle puppy, contact me at laurie@rainfieldgoldendoodles.com and let’s talk.
Elmo loves being king of his castle.
If you miss out on these puppies or the timing isn’t right for you just yet, we are expecting another litter of goldendoodle pups in early November. Those pups will be our Christmas litter who should be ready to go to their new homes shortly after Christmas. We will start taking deposits for that litter in the next week or two. Again, I’ll be happy to help you get onto our puppy waiting list. Just email me. You can also check out our 10 step guide on how to adopt a goldendoodle puppy.
Red is a real cuddle bug.
For those of you who are new to our Rainfield family, we are located in the North Houston area. We like to get to know you first and encourage new families to come by when the puppies are about 5 or 6 weeks old to meet their future puppy and get to know their little personalities. We find it helps you in making this big decision — and who doesn’t like to meet and play with cute little puppies, right? Our doodle babies go home at about 8 weeks old. At that point, the puppies have started their crate training and potty training and we are happy to give you tips and instructions to help you finish their training. Goldendoodles are such smart dogs and catch on to new things so quickly.

We look forward to hearing from you and to seeing if one of our doodle puppies is a good fit for you and your family.

If you are looking for a male goldendoodle puppy available in Houston, we’ve got two little cowboys who are ready for new homes. These little boys, who we call Brooks and Dunn, are 10 weeks old. They are standard F1b dark apricot goldendoodles with a poodle dad and goldendoodle mom.
Brooks and Dunn have been home raised with children and cats and have gotten a lot of early socialization. They are doing well on their potty training and crate training at night. They’re sleeping through the night and are on a good schedule. We’ll give you all the information on their schedules and training so far so you can continue on with it, but so far these two are really smart, quick learning little puppies.
Little Dunn plans to be a great cowdog someday — but he needs to get this hat thing down first.
These goldendoodle puppies are very affectionate and love to snuggle. They already have their little personalities. Brooks, the lighter puppy, is a little more curious and loves to explore, while Dunn, the darker goldendoodle puppy, is a little more laid back.
There you go! Told you Dunn was a quick learner. He’s got this hat thing now.
Both puppies aced their first vet checkup and have already had two sets of shots so far. Vets recommend puppies have 3 sets of vaccinations in order to take the pups out and about safely.
If you’d like more information about either of these darling little cowboys, contact us at laurieclaire@gmail.com to find out more about our available goldendoodle puppies in Houston.
We have some beautiful little F1B goldendoodle puppies available. These F1B doodle pups are almost 6 weeks old and will be ready to go to their new homes in time for Valentine’s Day. So if you’re looking for a little love bug to add to your family, one of these cuties might be your pup.
Rascal says “It’s not easy being this cute, –especially when I have to sit for pictures when I’d rather be playing.”
These little boys are F1B goldendoodle puppies(a puppy who has a goldendoodle mom and a poodle dad). These little boys have fluffyshaggy/wavy coats. Typically F1B goldendoodles are more hypo-allergenic, so if you have allergies, these babies might make it easier.
Handsome little Benny (F1B Goldendoodle) is gearing up for his first Valentines day.
These puppies have been partially bottle fed so they are extra attached to their humans. They may not fully realize that they are actually puppies. They are very sweet and good natured, affectionate and well-rounded. If you’d like more information about these F1B goldendoodle puppies available now, please contact me at laurieclaire@gmail.com.
There’s always something new to experience here. Although they would have preferred to keep all 4 feet on the ground, a hammock has its joys.
** Please note that we expect these puppies are going to be medium standard sized F1B goldendoodles. We expect them to be between 45 and 60 pounds. We can’t guarantee size, but that’s our estimate. Our medium standard goldendoodles have that typical goldendoodle body type and look. As a point of reference, our average standard doodles here at Rainfield Goldendoodles typically range from 50-80 pounds depending on who the parents are and whether they are F1 standards or F1Bs.
Little Spotty looks and feels like a big teddy bear. And best of all, he is always in the mood for a good snuggle
Update: These puppies have been adopted and are no longer available, but we are taking deposits for our Valentine’s Litter who are coming soon.
These two little boys are available goldendoodle puppies. Both are little sweethearts who play hard, love treats and lots of snuggles. They have red/apricot coats and are F1 goldendoodles, which means they have a poodle dad and a golden retriever mom. Little Spotty has a curlier coat and Charlie has more of a shaggy wavy coat. They are standard size. Both parents are about 65 lbs so they will likely grow to be that size or a little bigger, but for now they’re just little cuties.
Little Charlie is playful and can’t get enough of this fall weather
These babies are 9 weeks old and ready to go to their new homes. They are eating well and are doing well on their night time crate training/potty training. If you’re looking to add one of these available goldendoodle puppies to your family, or have questions about our pet adoption process please contact us at lauriewells@rainfieldgoldendoodles.com.
This gives you a pretty good idea of their coat differences. One is curlier and the other more shaggy wavy.
These two boys are the last of our F1 goldendoodle puppies for the next 3 or 4 months. If you would like to go on our waiting list for the spring/summer litter, please contact us and we’ll help you get on our list

We do have several female goldendoodles available as well who are F1Bs, which means they have a goldendoodle mother and a poodle dad. F1Bs are an excellent choice if you or anyone in your household suffers from pet allergies because their curlier coat tends to be more hypo-allergenic. Click here to see our F1B female goldendoodle puppies that are available.
We recommend crating your goldendoodle till at least a year old.
Did you know that here at Rainfield we start crate training your goldendoodle puppy before they go to their new homes? By the time you pick up your little cuties, they will have been sleeping in their crates at night for several weeks. From what we hear, our puppies generally make the transition to their new homes fairly well. They sometimes miss their litter mates and may whine for a short while before settling down, but they do settle and generally sleep through the night.
In addition to night time crating, however, depending on your puppy set up, we recommend that you keep your puppy in their crate whenever they are not being supervised to keep them safe, protect your home, and give them a space to calm down if they get too hyper. You can leave your doodle in their crate for up to 2 or 3 hours at a time. The general rule is that they can last about 1 hour per month of age. So a 3 month old puppy can generally keep his crate clean for up to 3 hours at a time before they need to be let out to run, play and do their business.
You can extend this time frame a bit by putting their crate inside of a larger play yard. We use North States Puppy Play Yard because they can be expanded with additional panels. We keep food and water and a litter box inside of this play yard. With this set up, puppies can be in their crate and then come out to do their business and eat and drink. Of course they will still get lonely and need their puppy snuggles, so don’t stretch your away times too far, but if you work and need an extra hour or two so you can come back at lunch and let them out, this has worked well.
When it comes to sizing when crate training your goldendoodle, we recommend the 36 or 42 inch wire kennel that has the divider that comes along with it. You can remove the divider as the puppy grows. You might want to arrange an exercise pen that attaches to their kennel and has a potty area, similar to what we have and what they are used to.
Our indoor exercise/play pen is 6’ x 8’. We highly recommend having an indoor play area or pen as puppies need to feel a part of the household but not to left to roam the home at this early age. We keep our indoor play area in our living room. It also has their food and water dish, sleeping area and a litter box as well as toys. If you have a multi- level home, it is good to have a play area on each level. They also love their bed with the high sides so you might want to get a doughnut bed at first.
We recommend crating your pup when unsupervised until they are at least one year old. Goldendoodles grow quickly and can seem like full grown, adult dogs by 10 or 11 months, but they are still immature and unreliable. Until they are about a year old you can still expect puppy behavior such as chewing, eating socks, raiding the bathroom trash or breaking into your candy bag.
Doodles do need lots of exercise and they need time to run and stretch their legs, play, interact with their family, and so on, but crate training your goldendoodle and making use of that crate often during their younger years can make all the difference between a smooth transition or a wild one.
