OFA, DNA, & Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) Testing

Our family had been searching for the perfect four legged family member for a long time! We were looking for a breeder who offered DNA and orthopedic testing, and discovered how difficult that was to find! One breeder even went so far as to say "Labradoodles do not get genetic disease because they are a mixed breed dog! " As a biology teacher, I can assure everyone that any dog can be born with an inherited genetic disease and the only way to check for them is to do DNA testing on the parents. The same holds true for orthopedic testing. We found Mike in Illinois.. We are in Colorado. Mike is a wealth of knowledge and is extremely adamant about the importance of both genetic and orthopedic testing. We read some of his reviews, checked out his website- which explains everything one should know about the genetic and orthopedic testing, and finally gave Mike a call. He spent over an hour on the phone with us, and we then knew Mike was the guy we were looking for! We ended up with a beautiful Stage 3 trained puppy from Mike. He is simply a wonderful puppy! We cannot recommend Mike enough. Please do your own research when looking for a puppy, as we discovered that the majority of breeders are not doing the appropriate health testing which can cause a big problem a few years down the road.

Our experience with Mike with Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago was fantastic. Mike is very passionate about what he does and it shows. His attention to details, the care he takes to ensure his dogs are healthy and happy and the follow up with his puppies after they have gone to their forever homes is impeccable. Mike was very accommodating in helping us get our pup Max home for a special Christmas surprise! We highly recommend Mike!

Our family is so very happy that we adopted a dog from Mike at Labrador & Labradoodle Puppies Chicago! We walked into this journey expecting to adopt a very young puppy but couldn’t be happier that we welcomed home a trained 7 month-old Australian Labradoodle. It is truly the best decision a young family like ours could make. She is an absolutely delightful companion — attentive, well-mannered, calm, friendly and eager to please. She has been excellent with all people and dogs inside and outside of our home. It is a testament to the environment Mike raised her in. We get so many compliments on how well-trained and personable she is, and we couldn’t be happier about how smoothly she has joined our family. She has also been very respectful and gentle toward our elderly Yorkie-Poo.

We spoke with several breeders prior to finding Mike’s website and were immediately impressed by the information and videos provided. Mike is very personable and truly cares about the health and well being of his dogs, and we greatly appreciate that he highly values full panel genetic and orthopedic testing. It also meant a lot that he cared about the home she was going to and that we are conscious pet owners. Mike was welcoming at his home and made it easy for our three kids (12, 8, 5) to interact with many of his dogs, all who were pleasant and personable toward us. He patiently spent time answering our long list of questions after our meeting and took extra time to provide information that ultimately made us feel confident in our decision.

Since adopting our girl almost a month ago, Mike has kept in touch, checking in to make sure everything is going smoothly. He has readily answered our questions and is genuinely interested in her development. We highly recommend reaching out to Mike!

I found Winston online. I called Mike early. He didn't hesitate to answer any and all of my questions. We visited and left with Winston the same day. Winston is a bundle of joy. We can not be any happier with him. He is a wonderful addition to my family. Mike explains everything very well. He is not your typical breeder. He is very knowledgeable and caring when it comes to the dogs and puppies he has within his care. In the event I want another dog or puppy. I will return here in the future and even recommend him to family and friends.

Huge thank you to Mike for helping us add a fur baby to our family! Mike is extremely knowledgeable about labs and their health. We learned so much from him in a short amount of time. If you’re looking for a lab or doodle, Mike is your guy!

We had a wonderful experience with Mike and all his dogs, very transparent and very caring and thorough in the dog breed and the dog health. He also has insured that we’re very comfortable with our new family member. I would highly recommend him.

We would 100% recommend Mike and Chicago Area Labrador's without reserve for those looking to add a new furry member to their family. Now that we have our little labradoodle, Piper, at home we can’t imagine having worked with anyone else. Our search started in phone interviews with other breeders in the area and after visiting Mike’s home and business in Mundelein we knew we didn’t need to visit any others and he was the guy for us. The cleanliness of his facilities, knowledge about dog breeding and genetic testing, and the care/ attention he provides to his dogs and their puppies is top notch. Mike was exceptionally patient with us in the questions we asked as first time dog owners and made us feel confident in providing the essentials necessary for a smooth transition for our puppy back to the city including shots, microchip, kennel, food, leash, etc. 


Not only did we get the chance to meet the puppy and Mike, but we also were able to interact with our dogs mom and dad who are incredibly sweet and well behaved making us feel confident that we would be getting a good, well mannered, and healthy dog. Our little puppy is now 3 months old and we are so in love. We get constant compliments on how well behaved, loving, and calm she is for a little puppy and we greatly credit her coming from a great home with Mike! 


The relationship with Mike as a breeder is anything but transactional, he goes out of his way to stay in touch and follow-up with you after bringing your dog home to ensure they are doing well and answering any questions you have and remains genuinely interested in their development. In addition to Mike’s breeding services, we have used him for overnight boarding which we also highly recommend. We feel so much more comfortable leaving our dog with Mike as opposed to a standard service knowing she will be under good care/ supervision, playing with other well-mannered dogs, and having lots of room/ grass to run…. Plus, he gives her a bath before we pick her up making her super soft and smelling good. : -) 


We feel so fortunate for our little puppy and are so grateful for the positive experience that Chicago Area Labs has provided!

We brought home our sweet Milo 6months ago and could not be happier. Milo has been such a great addition to our family. More importantly was Mike and the valuable information he not only gave us when we picked up Milo but also when he would check-in via text, Mike does extensive genetic testing which our vet was very impressed with. I cannot recommend Mike enough. I know when we are ready to add to our family we will absolutely be coming back to Mike.

Mike was incredibly helpful and attentive, sharing all the important details with us. His puppies are absolutely wonderful, and it was very important for us to know that he performs all the necessary health tests. This gives us confidence in the high quality of his puppies and reassurance that our new family member will truly meet all our expectations! We are very happy, thank you so much!

We can't speak highly enough about Mike overall professionalism! We had been searching for a reputable breeder for months, and then we came across Mike website. Mike has been featured on WGN a couple times, and is all about the quality! He accomplishes this by educating people on the importance of DNA and OFA testing. Most of the breeders we spoke to did no DNA or orthopedic testing. We even had one breeder tell us that because a Labradoodle is a mixed breed dog- genetic testing is not needed! WOW! We discovered, from speaking with Mike, that DNA and orthopedic testing is the ONLY WAY to know the quality of a dog. We adopted both a trained Stage 3 Labrador and Labradoodle from Mike, and they are both perfect in every respect! Mike goes above and beyond in his adult dogs and puppies, and from our research, there is nobody close to him! If you are serious about adding a quality family member to your home, call Mike! You won't be disappointed!

We got Teddy our labradoodle from here, great dog!

Mike is an outstanding breeder. I brought home Luna (Labrador) from him and the entire experience was smooth and caring from the first call to pickup. Luna is healthy, confident, and clearly comes from a high-quality, well-socialized litter. Mike helped us get started with training, walked us through the vaccination plan and paperwork, and made everything easy to understand. What impressed me most is that he keeps in touch after the sale, checking in and sharing tips because he genuinely cares about the puppies he places. If you are looking for a responsible, trustworthy professional who delivers excellent puppies and real support, go with Mike. Highly recommended.

Mike is very knowledgeable and kind. After a lot of research we found him online. He was informative and is always one text away which I appreciate. We are so happy with our new puppy! Thank you

If you found yourself on Mike’s website look no further! Our family chatted to Mike on the phone and made an appointment with him to meet him and his pups. He took his time introducing us to various puppies and educating us on dog ownership as we were looking for our first family dog. Our sons had the chance to walk a few and fell in love with a lovely labradoodle… Butterball. We are so happy with the addition to our family. Butterball was 7 months old when we brought him home and he was well trained. Mike kept in touch and has been readily available for any questions. We cannot recommend Mike enough, he cares so much about his puppies and is very knowledgeable!

We adopted Thomas from Mike a few weeks ago. Thomas is a F1 labradoodle that is 2 1/2 years old. I found Thomas on Mike's website. Kept his name. (My Dad and brother were both Thomas.) We went to meet Mike and Thomas and found Mike to be a very knowledgeable dog breeder. You can tell from the get go he loves his dogs. Very pleased with the end result. We will be back!!

Mike is great! He had the process of buying our puppy so easy. He really cares about his dogs and I’ll definitely go to him for my next puppy!

We brought home Goose, our black lab puppy, from Mike a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier! If your looking for a lab, Mike should your first and only phone call! He is passionate, caring, and has a PHD in Labradors. DNA and orthopedics testing is key to a perfect pooch

About a month ago, I decided to visit Mike’s Labradoodle company in Mundelein, Illinois, and I came home that very day with the perfect puppy! If you’ve ever raised a dog, you know how much effort it takes, and that effort multiplies when you’re managing multiple litters. I truly appreciate Mike’s dedication, from the extensive research and resources he puts into the business to ensure each puppy is healthy and well-cared for. What sets him apart is his genuine interest in the future of each puppy, carefully matching them with the right family to ensure a joyful life full of wonderful memories. I can’t recommend Mike and his company enough!

This is the second black lab I got from Mike. We were so happy with our first girl. .She lived healthily until age 13, and was the sweetest most fun dog. It was a no brainer to go back to Mike again when we were ready for our next puppy. Weve had her for a couple weeks so far and couldn't be happier. She is sweet with my 7 YO and her friends. She is so fun and very smart. Mike is also just a text/phone call away. He truly cares about all his puppies and want them to go on to their forever homes and complete families. Could not recommend more.

I recently purchased a trained medium labradoodle puppy from Mike. He was so knowledgeable and fantastic to work with. I love to see how will the dogs love him and are treated. I also like all the information and help he gives you before, and even after you bring your puppy home. Not, only did I have peace of mind meeting the parents and having the DNA testing, it was nice to know that any other questions I had later on he didn't hesitate to help. He cares about his customers. My kids and other dogs and I love the newest member of our family (we named him Leo). We happen to be extra lucky because we live close enough that Leo can visit his brother, mother and father on occasion. I would HIGHLY recommend (and already have) Mike to anyone looking to purchase a lab or labradoodle.

We had a great experience working with Mike and would highly recommend him. He was very transparent about what to expect as a dog owner. As first time dog owners we adopted a trained labradoodle since we were not confident about how well could we train a puppy ourselves. This worked out very well because Mike had the puppy completely crate trained, partially potty trained and she was responding to many basic commands like sit, stay and come the day we got her home. Mike also socialized the puppy in places that allow pets where we might go like Home Depot and Lazy Dog. Mike also provided a lot of helpful hints to us and kept us very well informed during her training by sharing videos of the puppy's progress. We also met Tucker and Ginger, Piku's parents and saw her interact with them which was great. The puppy has settled in very well in our home and we love having her. It has been 5 weeks since we got Piku home and Mike keeps in touch and gets back to us in case we have questions and that is also a great help for novices like us.

After deciding on an Australian Labradoodle for our family, we found Mike on google and are so glad we did! I highly recommend Mike as a breeder. He is highly knowledgeable and truly cares about his dogs. He has checked in with us on our puppy journey and given tons of helpful recommendations. Our dog is healthy, well adjusted, great with kids and absolutely adorable!

We adopted our beautiful black lab, Bella from Mike two years ago, and couldn't be happier. Mike does all the appropriate health testing which our vet strongly suggested. If you are looking for a loving four legged addition to your family, look not further than Mike at Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago! We recently adopted a Stage 3 trained F2 labradoodle from Mike and couldnt be happier with the training! Thank you Mike!

Mike has been terrific from start to finish! We feel so confident with our new pup because of how he was bred and trained with Mike. He kept us updated during the process and provided info and tips since we have been home. 5 stars!!

We found Mike after doing thorough research on getting the next puppy for our family. Unfortunately one we had before passed away after only a few years. We knew Labradoodles were the perfect way to go and so glad we found Mike! He spoke with us over the phone and in depth while we visited the puppies. He stressed the importance of DNA testing and showed us detailed information on the mom and dad, and we got to meet the parents. We decided on a gorgeous Labradoodle who we named Harry and he’s been a great addition to our family. He gave us food, a crate, toys, leash, collar, microchip etc… We are also still in touch weeks after our purchase as he checks on how Harry is doing and on how potty training is going (which Mike’s given excellent training info). We are already thinking about our next puppy purchase and that it will be with Mike. You can’t go wrong!!

What can I say? If you're looking for a Labradoodle look no further. Mike is very knowledgeable and transparent. What sets Mike apart from the other breeders is that he does OFA, DNA, & Coefficient of inbreeding (COI) testing. That gives us peace of mind for our puppy's health. Mike does a very good job with socialization. She is good with our children and other pets. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and brought her home that day. Since then she's added so much value to our family.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Mike! From the very beginning, it was clear how passionate and knowledgeable Mike is about breeding for the long-term health and well-being of his dogs. One of the things that truly set him apart was his commitment to proper DNA and orthopedic (OFA) testing. He took the time to explain the importance of these screenings and how they help prevent hereditary issues that can affect a dog’s quality of life down the road.

Mike’s dedication to responsible breeding gave us complete confidence in our decision. He truly cares about his puppies and the families they go to— this isn’t just a business for him, it’s a mission. If you’re looking for a healthy, well-socialized Labrador or Labradoodle and want to work with someone who genuinely puts the dogs’ health first, Mike is the breeder you want. Highly recommended!

I am the proud owner of my first Labradoodle "Tootsie". It's been 7 weeks since I adopted her from Mike. She is 1 week shy of 7 months old. She is an F1B pup, Stage 2 trained and everything I hoped for. What sweet dog.

Before adopting Tootsie, I did a lot of research on the internet. Then I sope with Mike at great lengths, and decided Mike knew what he was doing, and cared deeply about his dogs. The in-person conversation only reinforced my research, and slowed me Mike is a first class breeder. Then he provided documentation regarding Tootsie's parents, specifically DNA and OFA testing. That was the proof I needed, he had testing to prove her health is as advertised, and what could be expected. I am a retired Project Manager in the Nuclear Power Industry that appreciates hard evidence.

Tootsie was Stage 2 trained. Eliminating hours and hours of crate training, she had all the basis commands I needed to help me build upon. Which I have, what a smart dog.

Thank you, Mike, for my dream puppy.

And thanks for your continued follow-up calls.

I cannot recommend Mike enough! From the very beginning, it was clear that he is deeply committed to the health and well-being of his dogs. One of the things that truly sets him apart is his dedication to conducting thorough DNA and OFA testing, which is the only way to ensure that the dogs are free from genetic issues and are of the highest quality. This kind of transparency is so important when choosing a new family member, and it gave me complete confidence in the health of the pup I brought home.

Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also goes above and beyond in staying in touch throughout the process. Whether it's answering questions, providing updates, or sharing essential information, he’s always available and eager to help. It’s clear that he cares deeply about the families he places his puppies with and is invested in their well-being every step of the way.

If you're looking for a healthy, well-bred Labradoodle and a breeder who truly cares about both the dogs and their future families, look no further. You won't find a better place to start your journey!

Fourteen years ago, we adopted a beautiful golden doodle puppy from what we thought was a reputable breeder based on the reviews we read. Unfortunately, after a couple short years we discovered she had knee issues and required surgery on her back right knee and most likely her back left knee in a couple more years. The surgery was not only very expensive, but it was also a difficult, painful recovery for our poor dog. Had that breeder done DNA and Orthopedic testing on their dogs, they hopefully would not have breed one or both dogs and passed down their genetic defects to our puppy.
When decided to get another dog, we did more research for “good breeders”. We read reviews, looking to see how long they have been breeding dogs, etc. It wasn't until we came across Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies of Chicago that we began to understand the importance of DNA and Orthopedic testing. Most breeders don't even mention it, we just assumed we were getting a high quality, healthy dog because it’s from a breeder. I am so thankful that we came across Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies of Chicago and that Mike was able to teach us the importance of genetic testing. Mike prides himself on breeding healthy, high-quality puppies, which was so important to us given the experience we had with our last dog. Please, don’t get a puppy just based off reviews, take it from us, I wish we knew then what we know now. Thank you so much Mike, we love our beautiful little puppy Loki and look forward to a long healthy life with her.

We found Mike after doing a search for labradoodle breeders near Chicago not long after we lost our amazing 15-year-old doodle. We ended up adopting a Stage 2 trained mini labradoodle from Mike and couldn't be happier. Mike is the best. It's obvious he really cares about his dogs and they absolutely love him too. The training has been super helpful (esp. potty training and car rides), and Mike has checked in regularly and has promptly answered questions whenever we've had them. Our little pup is happy and living his best life (though he's still very much a puppy!). Thanks, Mike!

My husband and I have gotten two dogs from Mike now. Both dogs are great and we have had a very positive experience dealing with Mike. He follows up and makes sure that you and your new family member are settled. We are very happy with Mike’s genetic masterpieces.

Mike's puppies are the best! They are all beautiful good natured creatures. Over the years, as an established professional pet groomer on the north shore, I have had the privilege of working with many of pups from his litters. They are amazing and adorable. I know for a fact that Mike prides himself in maintaining high standards, such as DNA testing and OFA certifications. Mike goes that extra mile to ensure happy and healthy pups for any individual or family. He'll even trains them. Those pups turn out to be great companions for anyone lucky enough to get one.

We had an incredible experience working with Mike when adopting our F2 15 Month Old Labradoodle, Minnie.

From the very beginning, Mike was extremely easy to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his dogs' well-being. What truly set him apart was his continued support even after adoption, consistently checking in to see how Minnie was doing and if we had any questions.

It’s clear that he cares deeply about his puppies and the families they go to. We couldn’t be happier with our decision, and we highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a reputable, responsible breeder!

Our family decided to get in touch with Mike after some friends had previously gotten a puppy from him and had a great experience. Our family was not interested in a puppy and Mike introduced us to Chipper, a one year old dog, who from initial discussions, appeared to be a great fit for our family with his temperament. Our family decided on Chipper and took him home a few days later, with a ton of support from Mike throughout the process. Mike is a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of breeding and understanding through DNA analysis what you get when you get a dog through him. This provided us with an added level of confidence in Chipper's general health and background. Chipper has been a great fit for our family, and as first time dog owners, Mike has been tremendous in talking us through any challenges faced and offering up his advice on a variety of situations. Overall we couldn't be more pleased with Chipper as well as Mike's support throughout the process including after bringing Chipper home. We plan to continue to be in touch as Chipper grows and look to Mike in the future as well should our family consider another dog. Thanks again Mike.

We brought home our F2 Labradoodle, Tilly, after Christmas and cannot say enough wonderful things about her. I did a ton of research on breeders and was very impressed with Mike’s level of diligence with genetic testing. We met Tilly’s mother and father and he welcomed us into his home. Not only does he breed incredible dogs, his follow-through and guidance through these puppy months have been nothing short of incredible. I can text him any time of day and he is ready to help. He legitimately cares about each dog and is committed to seeing owners succeed. Tilly is so spectacular that my husband (who has had dogs his whole life) frequently says “this dog is so perfect it’s almost annoying.” She is great with our toddlers, loves all humans and dogs, and has the best disposition. Calm and playful. Smart and sweet. Truly a joy to have around. Thank you, Mike, for all that you do. We are grateful for you and our Tilly.

It was a pleasure to work with Mike in getting our new puppy. Mike has been a breeder for 25 years and he really makes you feel comfortable.

We got a silver Lab from Mike, and our first month with Jojo has been great. Mike provided us the entire package. He begins with plenty of background material to instruct us with what we could expect with our new puppy. He allowed us to come visit Jojo at 4 weeks which really warmed our hearts. At 7 weeks we arrived to take our puppy home, and everything Mike promised us was provided. I have been in constant contact with Mike over the past month - he really cares about his puppies and their families, and he enjoys updates. Mike is available to answer any questions we have had regarding the upbringing of Jojo.
Given the large number of puppy mills in the Chicagoland area, it is great to know firsthand that Mike at Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago is a first rate, legitimate breeder.

My family and I were looking for a labradoodle, our first pet. After looking through several breeders and adoption places, we finally decided to go with Mike. We couldn't be anymore happier. He was kind, informative, and he really filled all the holes we weren't sure about. I'm so glad I ran into his website and made the call to him. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a furry friend.

We love our mini labradoodle! Mike did a great job breading & training her. We highly recommend getting a trained puppy! As a family of six, it would be too difficult for us to train her. We couldn’t be more happy with her!

My husband and I were going to wait until the spring to bring a puppy home but when I met Lucy, our 6 month old mini labradoodle at Mikes home, I knew we couldn’t wait. I knew immediately that Lucy was a good fit for us because of her calm temperament and the level of training she already had. We’ve had Lucy since December 23rd and Mike has been so helpful and always available for questions and suggestions as we got used to each other. Even during the holidays! It’s obvious that Mike is passionate about breeding quality labradoodles. He’s very knowledgeable and provided us with thorough DNA and health information on Lucy’s parents. We highly recommend that you talk to Mike if you’re looking for a beautiful labradoodle!

Mike is amazing! We adopted one of his F2 Labradoodles and she is perfect. She is incredibly smart, loving, and a wonderful addition to our family. Mike takes such care and pride with his dogs. Mike is very well researched and took the time to explain how important DNA testing is to make sure his dogs are as healthy as possibly for the duration of their lives. Mike is very responsive and communicative during the adoption process. Before adoption Mike provides a wealth of information to prepare to welcome a dog in to your home. After adoption Mike regularly checks in to see how things are going and is always available to answer questions and offer advice. Anyone interested in getting a dog would be best served by working with Mike.

MIKE IS AMAZING: From Seattle to the heart of Illinois, my journeys to Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago, located in Mundelein, IL, have always been fueled by the promise of exceptional care and quality that Mike Martinez guarantees.

Having flown across the states not once, but twice, to bring home our beloved dogs Sherman (Black Labradoodle) and Birdie Bean (Silver + Blue Eyed Labradoodle), I am continually impressed by Mike's dedication and the personalized care he extends.

Mike's approach to breeding is grounded in meticulous DNA and orthopedic testing, ensuring each puppy's long-term health and vitality. His responsiveness and genuine care for the puppies extend well beyond the initial adoption. Mike's follow-up texts over several weeks to check on our new pup Birdie Bean highlight his commitment not just as a breeder, but as a true caregiver who remains invested in the lives of his puppies and their families.

I love to highly train my dogs and Mike's dog are crazy smart. Sherman off-lease in full heal in downtown Seattle could catch a frisbee 100 yards away and was taught to carry my umbrella in the Seattle rain. He would even walk to the local store and find my wife's favorite popcorn and bring it back to her. I plan to train Birdie to be in my pediatric medical clinic as a service pup. Anything is possible with Mike's dogs.

What truly sets Mike apart is his people-first attitude. His quick responses to texts, readiness to provide knowledgeable answers, and his innate kindness make the entire experience deeply personal and reassuring. The journey from Seattle to Illinois is a testament to the trust and respect we have for Mike's professionalism and the love he shows to every puppy and family he encounters.

If you are looking for a breeder who not only provides healthy, beautiful puppies but treats you like family, look no further than Mike Martinez at Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago. Here, you are not just adopting a pet; you are becoming part of a community that cherishes lifelong bonds.

Thanks Mike! 🐶 ❤️

I can assure you the positive reviews Mike receives are real. We looked for a breeder for a while with no luck. Then we found Mike via WGN TV in Chicago. He has always been helpful, informative and responsive. And the love his dogs give him each and every day was all we needed to see to know he was one of the best. We had Mike provide stage 1 training for our fur baby, Bongi, and she couldn’t be any more wonderful. What we appreciated above all is that he continued to check in with us after we brought her home to make sure we got a good start on our lives together. Five stars can’t begin to express our appreciation.

Our experience working with Mike was exceptional. He came highly recommended from a family friend and he exceeded all of our expectations. We brought home our first family pup, labradoodle named Duke. Mike spent the day with us making sure he answered any questions we had and that we had everything we needed to make Dukes transition a success. Mike is very thorough with the genetic testing and orthopedic results he provided, which eliminates many concerns. You can truly see his passion and knowledge and it was a pleasure getting to know Mike.

Mike and his dogs are wonderful! We are so lucky to have Suzy home with us. Mike takes great care of his pups and is extremely knowledgeable. He is friendly and accommodating.

Mike was great to work with and patient as we took our time figuring out our selection with the kids. He was a wealth of knowledge in helping with the transition bringing Gracie home.

Words simply cannot describe our experience with Chicago Area labradors & labradoodles. From our first interaction with Mike, it was nothing short of amazing and positive. Our first initial phone call with Mike was almost an hour long of him explaining his love and passion for breeding amazing quality dogs. He explained in great detail what separates him from the rest, but more importantly his love and care for the dogs. We got to visit his beautiful facility and were in awe with how well maintained, clean and happy all the pups were. Mike has also been great help each step of the way. From the moment the pup is born we received multiple texts and pictures of our soon to be little guy. But more importantly he still keeps in touch with us months after taking him home. He is always one phone call and text away from any questions you may have as well. We have greatly enjoyed our experience here and look forward to contacting Mike again for another beautiful dog

We adopted one of Mike’s beautiful chocolate labs and took him home after Mike fully trained him for us. He has been so helpful and informative throughout this process. He would always make time for us to come and see our puppy, Duke, including us in the training process. There is no doubt that Mike is extremely conscientious with his dogs and takes the health of his pups very seriously. We always know that if we have any questions, he is there for us. Highly recommended him to anyone looking to add a puppy to their family!!!
