Our Moms

We breed our parent dogs only after they have reached maturity and completed comprehensive health testing as adults, specifically at least two years of age. We adhere to the standards set by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), which is recognized as the gold standard for hip evaluations. Please note that the OFA does not provide final hip results for dogs under two years of age.

We appreciate families choosing our program. Our clients value thorough health testing as a vital investment. While membership in recognized Australian Labradoodle associations like ALAA or WALA is a positive sign, it doesn’t guarantee adherence to the highest testing standards. Always verify that your breeder complies with Orthopedic Foundation for Animals OFA CHIC standards for Australian Labradoodles, which can be checked in the OFA database. For your convenience, our dogs’ CHIC numbers, health testing results, and relevant links are available under their profile pictures and the “health & stats” tab.

Maggie

Maggie, a River Days miniature mom

Registered Name: River Days Magnolia Mae; Registration Numbers: WALA00061569, ALAA-106892, OFA CHIC#:192556

CGC Certified

Maggie is a sweet, spirited, and outgoing girl with a bright personality that lights up every room. At 18 pounds, she has a compact, well-structured body and the softest coat. Highly intelligent and eager to connect, Maggie earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title at just six months old.

Her father, Eno, is a foundational retired-stud for our program and a Certified Therapy Dog who volunteers alongside his host mom throughout Raleigh, NC communities. Her mother, Salem, is a retired mama dog from our program who contributes her wonderful temperament and loving nature to her offspring. Maggie carries forward this legacy of intelligence, steady temperament, and social grace, paired with her own playful, energetic spirit.

Maggie’s PennHip scores are exceptional! Her scores are nearly unheard of within the Australian Labradoodle community, demonstrating outstanding structural integrity.

Within our breeding program, we thoughtfully pair Maggie with calm, steady males to complement her enthusiastic nature. Our goal is to preserve the intelligence, service-minded lineage, and structural excellence behind her while producing puppies with the balanced, family-friendly temperaments we are known for.

Maggie is living her best life with her host family, the Riordans.

River Days Millie

Registered Name: River Days Amelia-Jean; Registration Numbers: WALA00068434, ALAA-104848, OFA CHIC#:197083

Millie is the daughter of our very first River Days mama, Zoe, whose influence helped shape the heart of our program. Zoe’s legacy lives on through Millie. Like her mother, Millie is intelligent, social, affectionate, and deeply human-oriented.

Millie has a natural desire to please and is wonderfully responsive, making her easy to train and a joy to live with. She enjoys daily life with her host family, especially hiking with her human dad, while also relishing quiet snuggles on the couch. Her temperament is steady yet playful, striking the perfect balance between engagement and calm, exactly what we strive for in our breeding program.

Millie lives with her host family, the Salvatores, who are related to Piper’s (now retired) host family, creating a special extension of the River Days community. We are proud to have Millie continuing Zoe’s legacy with grace and confidence.

Luna Mae was born right here at River Days and embodies everything we value in the Australian Labradoodle: steady, intelligent, affectionate, and social. She is well-trained, exceptionally well-mannered, and a true joy to have in the home. She is a ray of sunshine and a cuddly teddy bear all in one.

Her father, Jesse, is a foundational stud for our program, and a Certified Therapy Dog. Jesse and his host-mom volunteer in the Chapel Hill, NC community. Her mother, Leah, has produced multiple puppies who have earned Therapy Dog Certifications. Luna Mae carries forward this legacy of service, intelligence, and heart, alongside a calm, balanced temperament that makes her a cornerstone of our program.

She lives with the Hunt family, who say:
“Luna Mae is the sweetest dog we have ever had and has truly completed our family. She loves to play with our two young kids but is always gentle with them. She is equally happy hiking or snuggling on the couch, as long as she is with her people.”

We are so proud to have Luna Mae in our program and excited for the puppies she will bring to our families.

She’s very loyal and devoted to her family. She is super friendly—she has seriously never met a stranger.”

Juliet

Registered Name: Tillery’s Juliet A La Mode; Registration Numbers: ALAA-133546; OFA CHIC # 215988

What a truly special girl! Juliet is not only beautiful on the outside, her manners are exceptional and her temperament is delightful. She has completed extensive on- and off-leash training and lives a full, happy, and well-loved life. We are absolutely thrilled to have her as part of our River Days family.

Juliet’s host mom wrote her bio, and we are thrilled to share it here for all to see…

If love were measured in tail wags, Juliet would power the entire neighborhood.

Juliet is a world-class foodie with a refined palate. Kibble? Excellent. Treats? Extraordinary. Mysterious crumb on the kitchen floor? A culinary adventure. As a dedicated Snack Inspector, she takes her job very seriously and is always available to assist with taste-testing. Purely for quality control purposes, of course.

When she’s not conducting important food research, Juliet is a certified snuggle specialist. Her résumé includes advanced lap-warming, expert-level couch cuddling, and a PhD in resting her head on you in the cutest way possible. If you sit down, she considers it an open invitation to get a belly rub.

Juliet also enjoys her daily strolls around the neighborhood, where she keeps a careful eye on local squirrel activity and ensures every grass blade is thoroughly inspected. Community service is important to her.

At home, Juliet loves playing with her four human kids and her canine best friend, Boots. Whether it’s backyard zoomies, toy tug championships, or a lively game of fetch, she’s always ready for fun! Juliet’s sweet and gentle nature makes her the heart of the Nance pack 💗

Juliet is loving, loyal, snack-motivated, and 100% sweet. If you’re looking for a dog who will steal your heart (and maybe your sandwich), she’s your girl.

In loving memory of our Mary-Sadie

“Sadie” may not have been part of our breeding program, but she was the dog who first captured our hearts and introduced us to the Australian Labradoodle. She was beloved by our entire family and shared an unbreakable bond with our daughter, Hailey, creating countless cherished memories together.

Sweet, gentle, and endlessly loving, Sadie brightened every moment — from hikes and swims to snuggles on the floor with family. Though she is no longer with us, her spirit, warmth, and the joy she brought to everyone who knew her will always remain in our hearts.

Thank you, Sadie, for every hug, every laugh, and every memory! You will always be a part of our family.
