F1, F1b, F2/F1BB, Multi Gen Labradoodles

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!

First of all, it was such a pleasure meeting Mike Martinez. He was very knowledgeable and kind to us when we approached him for his dogs. He showed us patience and respect when we told him we are first time dog owner. Our dog Clyde who Mike has trained so well has been in his best behavior. Clyde is very intelligent and such a gentleman. Even though this is our first week having him, he made it so easy for us to manage. We are very happy!

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!!

Update May 2025
Black Betty is 5 ! Healthy, smart and a Dang Good Dog!

Mike Martinez the breeder, is still in touch with us and enjoys hearing about her.

Betty and I have grown an inseparable bond over the years we cherish dearly. Being semi retired and working from home, we share a lot of our time together. She’s independent but always ready and waiting to share her love with us, the wife and I.

An F1 field dog, Betty Loves-to-Run and gets in at least a mile or two a day. Being trained off leash, she has the freedom and discipline to enjoy her walks in the park. Videos added.

Thank you Mike, for helping us find each other. We needed each other and time has been good to us.

Update 10/25/23. Betty is almost 3.5yrs now. Best forever friends! She's a good girl and we'll trained off leash. It took 1.5yrs till she knew it. A lot of time and patience to get there. The free spirit loves to socialize with the pack and their parents. She challenges alpha and plays hard to win.

Thanks Mike! It really means a lot to share our adventures with you.

Thanks Mike, for your professional experience and honest assessment of where we are in the doggy world today.

Our journey to meet you, by chance on the internet, was rife with disappointment and fraud. It had been 12-years since we shopped for a puppy and best-friend Jackson R.I.P, in 2008. When I spoke on the phone with Mike, he listened as I admitted my experience since early May, and aided me in the realization that I would be spending more than planned for a quality dog.

Mike indicated I could find a puppy in my price range, but, the dogs will most likely not be DNA and OFA certified. He went on to explain his quality breeding service and convinced me that I should consider his advice and read through the information in his website, along with his Google reviews, to see what others had to say.

We ended up with our beautiful, sweet, intelligent Betty! I understand the point’s people have made in the Google reviews- and I have to say I now understand why and confirm their accuracy with my own experience.

Mike calls to check on the pup. Mike has been breeding dogs for 15-years. The care and knowledge he possesses are vast, freely shared and greatly appreciated. Having had dogs all my life it is reassuring that his calls are of concern for his puppy’s and clients.

Mike is well read and experienced in puppy matters such as; health and safety, nutrition, doggy habits, training, discipline, etc. His breeder skills are top notch and delivers well-bred pups that are healthy and smart.

The “puppy prep sheet” Mike emails you is a good read and suggested reference when bringing a puppy home. The requirement sheet provides valuable and useful info for new puppy’s and owners, and older lifetime owners that may read some good info about quality pup care.

The care that goes into breeding Mike’s pups is proven science and a love for his dogs. His dogs are well cared for with walks and swims in Lake Michigan, and they are fit and trim. The dogs and pups live with him. Duly noted in another review is how clean and odor free his house is. His dogs are trained, very friendly and the puppies are born into a nurturing environment.

Betty is 8-weeks now. She goes to the door to go out, shakes paw, sits and her biting is down to a minimum, except when she’s in mad-dog mode and wants to play hard. She learns fast. She knows her name and is starting to come when called. I have started training, explaining; sit, stay, down, heel, leave it, on the double and no mud. Never too early to start, I believe she may be voice command trained very quickly!

Thanks Mike, A week and a half, and we are best friends. Betty’s personality is fast becoming loyal and trusting. She tries to please us with the skills she is learning, and loves obtaining our praise and kindness! The treats help too.

I may call to inquire about quality trainers to assist in Betty’s development. She’s smart and I would like to see her achieve her potential.

Our family has been looking for a Labradoodle for about a year. We were highly advised by our vet to make sure the breeder we choose did genetic and orthopedic testing on the parents. Our quest left us with what seemed like little hope. Every breeder we spoke to either said they did no testing or if they claimed they did it, they couldn't produce test results to us, which told us that the testing was never done. When all seemed lost we came across Mikes website and all of his information and videos were AMAZING! We even let our vet look at Mikes website, and they were so impressed that they reached out to Mike to commend him on his OUTSTANDING breeding practices! Mike not only does full panel DNA testing through Embark, but he does OFA hip/elbow testing AND gives copies to all those who adopt his pups! He is by far the most transparent breeder we have ever come across! Mike is absolutely meticulous in the care he gives his pups and adult dogs, as well as the information packet he gave us! He really missed nothing! If you are looking for the highest quality and best customer service you will not find anyone remotely close!! Check out Mikes website and give him a call! You won't be disappointed!!

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 recently brought home a mini labradoodle and couldn’t be more pleased! Molly is one of the sweetest puppies we’ve met. We’ve had compliments from our vet and puppy trainer on her temperament.

Mike goes out of his way to ensure you have all of the information you need to be a successful pet parent. We also went over the thorough genetic testing and insights Mike has.

We’re so happy to have Molly as our new family member and appreciate the care that went into ensuring we had plenty of information to feel confident in the type of dog we have.

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.

Mike was great in helping us find the right dog. Snoopy is as advertised good with children and fun to be around. If you like labradoodles it’s the right place to go.

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.

I did extensive research before selecting a breeder for my new lab puppy. I knew how well recommended Mike was. Even so, he exceeded my expectations. We adopted Kaia, a beautiful Chatcoal lab 3 weeks ago after having Mike do the stage 1 training process with her. He is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and genuinely cares about the puppets. He spent significant time going over her care, and checks in regularly on her. It was a really great experience and we wound up with the most amazing puppy ever! And the stage 1 training was very helpful. I highly recommend him.h

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!!!

We had a great experience purchasing our mini labradoodle! Mike communicated before, during and after the entire process. He answered a lot of questions, & had some great training tips & tricks! We would highly recommend getting a puppy from Mike!

I recently purchased a mini labradoodle. He is adorable, very smart and sweet. I was able to meet both of the parents which is always good to do. Mike, the breeder is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He has been breeding his dogs for many years and has high quality dogs. Mike has been in touch with me several times checking on how our puppy is doing which shows me his concern for his puppies. I highly recommend checking out his website.

Mike has been fantastic to work with throughout the process of migrating our new puppy Champ into our home and family including our other 6 year old dog. Mike provided great insights through all phases from the birth, during our initial visit, and then at pick up. He has a passion for developing healthy pups and is dedicated to the care and nurturing of all his animals.

Mike has been great about checking in with us frequently to make sure Champ is doing well and he remains available to answer any questions. Working with Mike has been a great experience I would definitely recommend.

We picked up Sadie from Mike 2 weeks ago. She is a silver lab that is so sweet and smart. Mike spent a lot of time with us, talking about Sadie’s parents, suggestions for how to potty train and feed her so she continues to thrive. He was very thorough and has checked in with us several times to see how she is doing and if we have any questions. We can’t say enough good things about Mike and his dogs!🐶💗

We picked up our stage 1 trained 16
week old Labradoodle “Bodi” two weeks ago. It’s been two weeks now. Bodi is in a nuts shell, crate trained, potty trained, (unless his parents screw up) and basically the smoothest transition dog I have ever had. Going on 8 dogs in my lifetime. We have had one indoor accident since arrival and It was my fault. Bodi rings a bell when he wants to go outside(our training). We have taken him on an 8 hour ride to PA from Chicago and he has no concerns being in his crate or buckled in to the back seat. We have kept him in his crate 60% of the day and will continue this practice until 6 months of age.( this make separation anxiety a breeze) He is well adjusted to being at peace by himself and has adapted well to our home and family. I can’t say enough about Mike! We have been in constant contact about the genetics reports on Bodi’s mom and dad, feeding recommendations and just about everything else. Mike is a very available and totally invested person when it comes to the future of his dog’s forever home family. If I have a question….Mike is willing and excited to reply promptly every time.
I was close to giving up on having a dog because of the shedding and allergies that would be an issue in my home.
I investigated the labradoodle breed because of the non shedding/hypoallergenic factor. While searching, I found Mike’s site. Everything just fell I to place from that moment.

We have an entire immediate and extended family that has fallen in love with Bodi! 9 cousins absolutely didn’t want us to leave PA this thanksgiving.

My parents are on deck to get a stage 1 trained pup from Mike as they are also a huge fan of a non shedding and not have to wake up every 2 hours every night to walk the babies.

Bodi’s demeanor is cool and isn’t overbearing unless on walks and then he wants to kill every blowing leaf he sees. He’s a puppy! It cute. He sits, waits, comes, lays down and did I mention in a week, he learned to ring a bell when he needs to pee?!?!

We are over the moon with the stage 1 labradoodle decision from a guy who has 17 of his own dogs at his house and celebrates birthdays and thanksgiving with all of his own labs and doodles!

All genetically tested and reported!

Thanks Mike!

Thank you to Mike for my new home girl “sissy” I bumped into his website online and really loved the idea of little jump start on training. She is comfy in her crate, sleeping through the night immediately. She’s a lover and I’m lucky to have crossed paths with her. Again THANK YOU MIKE !

Wonderful experience from the start. We brought home a 4 month old labradoodle from Mike. He had already crate trained him as well as some basic training including sitting, using stairs, and leash walking. It was wonderful to have our fur baby sleep through the night happily in his crate from the start. Mike gave great instructions on what to do when we got home and followed up multiple times. We couldn't be more happy with our dog and the support Mike gave us. Highly recommend this breeder.

We couldn’t be any happier with our experience with Mike and bringing home our beautiful baby girl charcoal lab! Mike was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He spent a long time chatting with me answering all my questions and getting to know me on my very first phone call and still checks in after we are home. We have been so impressed with the detailed health records, breed expertise, training knowledge, level of responsiveness and overall experience. Baby girl is beautiful, happy and healthy!! Thank you Mike for helping us add to our family. Our hearts are so full welcoming baby Olive home for the holidays. 🐶❤️

Great experience with Mike! We love our guy!

We cannot share enough amazing comments about our experience with Mike! When we were looking to bring in a hypoallergenic dog to our home, we were immediately guided to Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago. After we immediately fell in love with our little Alina as a newborn, we were astonished by the amount of education and caring Mike was providing; not only to the puppies but us as well! We ultimately pursued having Mike conduct stage one training with Alina and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Not only did Alina receive top-tier training, but the fact that we as a family were also involved in the training speaks to Mike’s commitment to the entirety of the process. Mike remains diligent in checking in on us as a family ensuring our questions are answered and that Alina is doing well. This is more than a business; it’s an extended family! If you are interested in these breeds (which are amazing for kiddos); look no further than Mike and Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago.

When our family was ready to adopt a puppy, we were incredibly lucky to have found Mike! From the first conversation on the phone, to meeting our labradoodle puppy, Burfi, to preparing us for starting off on the journey as first-time dog owners, to checking in and always being available to answer our questions, Mike has been phenomenal!

My sons, husband and I will never forget the wonderful first meeting that Mike facilitated at his beautiful facility, full of happy dogs, where we met Burfi and his parents for the first time. Mike is very, very thorough in his approach, both in terms of the paperwork and health records for the puppies, as well as the preparatory instructions for soon-to-be dog owners! He is extremely knowledgeable about his profession, is very transparent about the health screens for his puppies and their parents, and also very transparent and helpful on what to expect with the puppies as they transition into their new home and grow. His records for Burfi were meticulous, and his instructions on how to deal with the early days with a new puppy have been on point. Mike has tirelessly checked in on us - he genuinely cares for Burfi and for us to have the best possible bonding experience with our new love and family member!

We are so happy and fortunate to have found Mike at Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago. I came across the website by searching for labradoodles near Chicago. I wanted to purchase our pet locally to avoid the hours long drive to an unknown farm in the middle of no where. Mike was easy to get a hold of and very knowledgeable. He took plenty of time to answer our questions and I appreciated that he was interested in our family too and wanted to make sure one of his pups was going to a good home. We were able to pick the pup we wanted after she was a few weeks old. She was too young to come home with us, but Mike sent us weekly pictures so we could see how much she was growing. She’s been home with us for a week and we are already attached to our new family member. She’s a fun puppy and I know she’s going to be a great fit for our active family. Thanks Mike!

Update…about 6 years after adopting, we decided our family was ready to add another dog to the mix. After having such a great experience, we decided to reach out to Mike again. We found a perfect fit for our family in adopting Ruby, a trained puppy. She was already crate trained and able to walk on the leash. She even sleeps through the night. Mike allowed us to bring our dog over to play with Ruby for awhile to make sure they got along. Could not have been an easier process. For anyone looking for a puppy or a trained puppy, I highly recommend!

We have had a great experience with Mike. He's been informative and helpful which made us very prepared to bring home our new pup. Thank you, Mike!

Mike was very thorough with giving us tons of information about how to take care of our mini labradoodle puppy. He gave us enough food for her for a week and advised us about what to buy from the pet store. He had all her records and information about her parents in a folder for us to take home. And he let us meet the puppy’s parents. He texted every few days checking on us. He has an amazing playground for the big dogs and takes great care of these dogs. Highly recommend Mike Martinez and his puppies!

Mike was very knowledgeable when explaining about the puppies, you can tell he knows his stuff!
He was very quick to respond when I was inquiring about a puppy.
We had a wonderful experience.

Extremely knowledgeable breeder- great dog Toby! Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Great experience adding a new family member, Weller. Mike was very helpful before, during and after. From explaining the genetics testing, the quality and traits we should look for, and training tips. He was great the whole time. Mike was also able to train Weller for a few weeks before we brought him home. Weller, while full of life and endless energy, has a demeanor we all hoped for. It’s also great to know Mike is there as a resource and since we are local, a place to take Weller when we go on trips the little man cannot come with for. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend.
