Today we are highlighting Gus, a 1 year old, white or cream goldendoodle, who became one of the Goldendoodles of Galveston last summer when he joined Judy and her family. He became little brother to Jewel, another Rainfield Goldendoodle who is now 5 years old.

Together they spend their days lounging around in the sun, attending festivals, going for long walks on the beach, spreading doodle joy and making friends whereever they go.
Jewel and Gus’ groomer does beautiful work!
Judy and her family are a multi-doodle family. Gus and Jewel are hers, and her daughter and son have doodles of their own, which Judy often dog sits. When they all get together, which they frequently do, it’s one big goldendoodle party! We love getting updates from Judy and her family. She is an excellent photographer and storyteller. All of her updates include beautiful pictures with a fun story behind it. She does such a good job at keeping us up to date with Guy and Jewel’s daily adventures as goldendoodles in Galveston. They make excellent goldendoodle ambassadors everywhere they go.
Gus’ first Mardi Gras
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures and stories, Judy! Gus (and Jewel) sure lucked out being a part of your family.

Goldendoodle Pupdates – Meet Kaela, now a 1 year old goldendoodle from Houston, Texas
Kaela – a 1 year old goldendoodle – with her summer cut. Kaela loves water, so keeping her coat shorter in the summer prevents matting.
What is a Goldendoodle Pupdate?
Here at Rainfield, we are blessed to raise your future puppy for the first 2-3 months. We handle them multiple times daily, watch them play and learn, get to know their budding personalities, we spend time teaching them to eat, potty in the right place, how to sleep in their crate, and enjoy seeing them grow to the beauitiful pups that you take home when they are old enough. We do get attached and it’s not always easy to say goodbye when the big day comes. BUT… it makes it so worth it and brings us joy when we get pupdates and pictures and get to hear how loved they are and how they have become a much cherished member of your family.
Kaela – when she was but a wee goldendoodle puppy
A big thank you to Ally, from South Houston for her goldendoodle pupdate, along with pictures and video clips. Ally adopted our sweet little Sierra (renamed Kaela), a cream goldendoodle puppy, last year to be a companion to Kona, her 5 year old goldendoodle. Kona’s older sister had crossed over the rainbow bridge and Kona was taking it pretty hard. Kaela sounds like she’s done a wonderful job being a companion to Kona. According to mommy Ally, Kona’s also been a great teacher. Those two goldendoodles have become best of friends and are living the good life at their home in South Houston.
Kaela is a great pupil and picks up training from her big sister Kona.
Without further ado, I’ll post Ally’s goldendoodle pupdates below.
From Ally:
“Kaela is such a good girl. Her temperament has been astounding for a puppy. She hardly ever barks or growls unless she sees something she wants us to be aware of or she wants to come back inside — not even when she and Kona play fight.
She also loves meeting new people! When she was younger and would slip out the front door if a delivery person dropped something off she was tail wagging and just pure love for everyone.
She paid attention to the commands we give Kona whether it’s to sit or come home and she learned commands from her by mimicking. “

A bit of pupshine during some tough days after Hurricane Beryl hit. Kaela was our only little girl in the litter. She did a great job keeping her brothers in line.
On July 8, 2024, Hurrican Beryl blew over our home with 84 mph winds. At 4 weeks old, our latest litter of goldendoodle puppies were our first litter of Goldendoodles to experience a hurricane. While not fun and a little scary, these beautiful babies got a headstart providing goldendoodle therapy during Beryl,
We worried the pups would get spooked by all the loud noises, but these doodle puppies were champs and slept through the whole morning of high winds, falling trees and fences. Not having electricity for a week was a little more challenging in this Houston heat. The pups took to loving getting frequent rinse offs and enjoyed getting sleep with us in the big room with the aircon.
Goldendoodle Therapy During Beryl
Overall, they did amazing and seriously, these babies made excellent therapy pups. These pups seemed to natural know what we needed and gave us lots of goldendoodle therapy. They stayed calm, were always ready to give cuddles, and have already mastered that “look” that lets you know they understand just what you’re going through and it’s going to be okay.

We have some of wonderful pups available now and ready to go in early August.

A big happy 2nd birthday to sweet Peach, an F1b goldendoodle, voted Best Office Doodle Ever! Here’s a shout out from Robin about what having a goldendoodle on staff, and in her life, is like.
Thank you, Robin, for sharing all these sweet moments with Peaches! We love seeing the very full and fun lives our doodles are living.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Peaches!
Update From Robin on Peaches, Best Office Doodle Ever!
“Peach brings sunshine and happiness where ever she goes. She shares my interior design studio with me. Actually, I don’t think she knows I run a business…she is pretty sure everyone comes to see her. Peach travels near and far to job sites too. Loves people and all types of animals sweetly. She runs the park with me most mornings here in SA. My life is way more fun with her in it!”
Every day is “bring your goldendoodle to work day” for this sweet girl. It’s no wonder she’s voted “Best Office Doodle Ever!”
“Waiting in my studio while the meeting is going on and on!!”
Still going?
Even Mom’s furry customers are welcome here!

Peach is a total delight!

Are you wondering about therapy dog training for goldendoodles? Anyone with a goldendoodle in their life knows that they have an amazing ability to connect with people. As such, we’ve had quite a few of our sweet Rainfield goldendoodle puppy go on to get their therapy dog training, with some going even further and becoming service dogs. Every time we hear from one of our Rainfield familes that their dog has gotten their therapy dog certification, we like to give them a big old Texas shout out!
Willie Nelson (Left) and brother, Waylan
Today we are here to celebrate Willie Nelson, one of our Rainfield F1 goldendoodle dogs. Willie just passed his Therapy Dog testing and is eager to start visiting longterm care facilities in the fall. He says that it’s going to tough work having to visit all those friendly people who will shower him with love and pats and sometimes treats, but some dog has GOTTA do it, right? Good job, Willie! We are rooting for ya!
Tip – How to Get Your Doodle in Therapy Dog Training
Goldendoodles are smart, eager to please and love to learn, so if you have the time and want to share some of that doodle love with others in need in this way, therapy dog training for goldendoodles can be a perfect solution. We recommend starting early giving your goldendoodle puppy their basic training wit a good trainer (once they have their all their shots). Be sure to thoroughly socialize your puppy by taking them out and exposing them to a variety of real-life situations and a variety of people.
Once you get their basic training finished, if they’ve done well and seem like a good fit and temperment for therapy work, go ahead and keep going on their training. Get them into the intermediate and advanced dog training classes. Some trainers are able to give your goldendoodle the Canine Good Citizen Test, which your doodle will need to qualify for Therapy dog training. If your trainer does not offer this, ask them for recommedations of where you can get this. Once your goldendoodle has their CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certificate, they will need to take a test to qualify as a therapy dog. Some trainers offer Therapy Dog Test prep classes to get your doodle ready for the big day. Once they have their certification, organizations like Paws for Therapy can get your connected to facilities looking for certified Therapy Dogs.
If you have the time (and a doodle), we hope you will consider therapy dog training for goldendoodles.
