PUPPY DETAILS-

F1 Australian Hybrids are exclusive to our breeding program! Beginning with very unique colors of bi color chocolate, bi color black, bi color silver, bi color charcoal, silver, charcoal, chocolate, these pups are bred for intelligence & performance. A standard F1 is a 50/50 mix of a Lab & Poodle, which makes for a great combination of both intelligence from the Poodle and athleticism from the Lab. We have added a twist by doing a couple things. We first added in the unique colors of silver and charcoal to give these dogs an absolutely stunning appearance! As they say- looks aren't everything- so we gave these dogs a little bit of extra diversity and athleticism into the gene pool! Instead of the standard 50/50 mix of Lab & Poodle, we have added in a bit more labrador to give these dogs extreme performance coupled with ultra-high intelligence, AND we added in a little bit of Cocker Spaniel- hence the "Australian" aspect- The more diverse the gene pool, the lower the C.O.I- Coefficient of Inbreeding. We guarantee you will not find another F1 with these qualifications!

ADOPTION FEE- $3200

Mike is amazing just as all the reviews state. To say he is a reputable puppy breeder is an understatement. Mike is experienced, trustworthy and caring. He loves and cares for these animals. I've learned a lot from him to better care for my new puppy. Mike is also there to support me and my puppy after. Mike is a treasure just like all the healthy and wonderful puppies he breeds. Thank you Mike! - Stacey and Semper (our new puppy)
Response from the owner:Hi Stacey, thank you so much for the great review and kind words. I really appreciate you adopting one of my pups and giving him a loving furever home AND driving all the way from Peoria! Enjoy little Semper!
Caitlin Sheehan
I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Mike and this breeding program. After losing my soul dog, getting another puppy felt emotional and overwhelming, and Mike showed me more kindness, compassion, and understanding than I could have ever expected. He was so patient with me through the entire process and genuinely cared about making sure we were ready and comfortable every step of the way. You can tell immediately that this is not “just a business” to him, he truly loves and understands his dogs. The amount of knowledge, care, and dedication he puts into raising his puppies is honestly incredible. I have never met or heard of a breeder who is this attentive, responsible, and passionate about what they do.
Our new puppy Jaxon is beautiful, healthy, well cared for, and already so loved. Mike made such a difficult chapter in my life a little brighter, and I will forever be grateful for that. If you are looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about their dogs and the families they go to, Mike is truly one of a kind. I would recommend him a thousand times over. ❤️
Response from the owner:Hi Caitlin, thank you for the hearfelt review and kind words. I understand how difficult of a time it is for you after losing Oakley. I'm so glad we were able to connect and that you were able to adopt one of my pups to help lift your spirits. Enjoy Jaxson!
Liz Jensen
Mike is an amazing breeder and great to work with! He is very knowledgeable about the dogs and helpful with care after purchasing a puppy from him. I higjly recommend you work with him to find a lab for your family.
Response from the owner:Hi Liz, thank you for the great review and kind words, and for giving little Gigi a loving home! I always enjoy the updates and fresh pics of her..She's so cute!
Japindy Fox
Mike made the whole process very easy and was great to work with and communicated the whole way through. He spent a good amount of time with us when we went to select our pup. He obviously spends a lot of time doing research and shared his vast knowledge with us.
We end up bringing home Marty and he is so adorable and a great addition to our family. We are in love with him!!
Response from the owner:Hi Jenny, thank you for the great review, kind words and for giving Marty a loving home! Congrats to Marty on graduating from his puppy clases! Great job Marty!
Edward Shuman
We worked with Mike to find exactly what we were looking for and found it all and more in "Connor". Amazing dog, gentle spirit with the athleticism of a gold medal gymnast. Well trained, obedientt and just an all around great dog. Working with Mike throughout the process was the hidden gem as his knowledge and experience shows with all he offers and moreso delivers. Thanks again Mike for making this an easy experience with an awesome Dog in Connor.
Response from the owner:Hi Edward, what can I say other than thank you so much for the great review, kind words and for giving little Connor a loving home! He is a very special little guy who stole my heart from the time he was 5 weeks old.. climbing out of his puppy pen and becoming the super athlete that he is! We really miss him around here. I'm glad you found him and he found you!

Just got our 3rd pup from Mike. Each one has been playful, smart, & a great addition to our family. Mike is very knowledgeable & helpful with the process and has been there for us to ask follow up questions. We highly recommend getting your pup through Mike.
Response from the owner:Hi Cynthia! Look how cute these little guys are..lol Two peas in a pod..lol.. Thank you for the continued support of adopting multiple pups from me, and the love you give all of them.

We got a beautiful male Labradoodle from Mike 2 weeks ago. We can’t say enough good about both Mike and the Pup/ Murphy. He cares who gets his dogs and when you get them they are healthy and clean and all records and tests are in immaculate order. Our Vet even said, He is a wonderfully put together animal and he had nothing but praise for the folder we were given w/ all Murphy’s documentation. Murphy seems as smart as a whip and is learning the basic instruction and lead walking right by your side already at 3 months old. I can proudly say, Mike is the Best I have ever dealt with.
Response from the owner:Hi Art, thank you for the great review, kind words, and for giving Murphy a great home! I'm excited about keeping in touch and following his training with both you and Al. Murphy is one hell of a dog!

I cannot say enough about Mike or his puppies. When we went to see him, we originally intended to purchase a Labrador. Mike spent a lot of time with us talking about what we were looking for in a pet (e.g., personality, size, energy, shedding level, etc.). We ended up reserving an F1 Labradoodle. Mike also handled two stages of training for our puppy. He kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the training process and when we brought our puppy home with us, he was housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and slept through the night. Even after we brought our puppy home, Mike has continued to check in and to be available when we have puppy questions. Our little guy is growing healthy and happy, which is unsurprising considering how much attention Mike pays to his puppies' breeding and genetics. Truly cannot recommend Mike more highly.
Response from the owner:Hi guys, lol.. love these pics of Sammy- they all tell a story about his young life- love his little perm hairdo.lol.. He was such a fun guy to train and work with. So smart and a huge personality and great disposition! Thank you for making the experience so wonderful. I miss you guys picking him up at 7 a.m. every Saturday!

We had a wonderful experience with Mike as our dog breeder. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to provide us with all the important information we needed before bringing our puppy home.
What really stood out was how much he truly cares, after we took our puppy home, Mike personally called to check in on us and see how our puppy was adjusting to the new environment. That level of support meant a lot to us and made the whole experience even more reassuring.
We highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a new furry family member. You can tell he genuinely loves and cares for his dogs, and it shows in everything he does.
Response from the owner:Hi guys, thank you for the kind words and great review and thank you for giving Lucky a loving furever home! Enjoy him
Nebojsa Campar

Response from the owner:Hi Nick, thank you for the kind words and great review! Enjoy little Lucky and give him hugs for me! Please reach out anytime with any questions!
Susan McCowin
We love our little Cocoa! Mike is a careful breeder and clearly loves his dogs. He spent plenty of time talking with us and was supportive in helping us learn how to bet care for our new fur baby. She's been home for three weeks now and Mike is still staying in touch, giving us tips and offering support. We couldn't be happier with Cocoa or with Mike.
Marc
We searched many different breeders and finally were fortunate enough to stumble across Mike. We were looking for a slightly older puppy that was hypoallergenic, great with kids, and great with other dogs. We hit a home run with Maizey. We got her at ten months- she is incredibly well trained and well behaved thanks to Mike’s efforts. She has acclimated very well and is an important part of the family. Would highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking a dog. He cares about his dogs and his customers and has been a pleasure to work with. Taking all my will power to not call him up and ask for a second dog!
Tracy Mastrocinque
If you are looking to add a new fur baby to your family….look no more! We highly recommend Mike and Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies Chicago. Mike keeps you in the know from day one and still after a month is reaching out to check on our little man Maverick. We are so lucky to have Maverick in our life!!! Thank you Mike❤️
Tim Whalen
We had a great experience adopting our labradoodle from Mike. From the start, he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. You can tell he truly cares about his dogs and takes pride in the quality of his breeding.

What really stood out was that he continued to check in with us after we brought our puppy home to make sure everything was going well. That level of care and support meant a lot and gave us a lot of confidence as new puppy owners.

If you’re looking for a responsible breeder who genuinely cares about both his dogs and the families they go to, I would highly recommend Mike.
Sue coyle
My husband and I adopted a labradoodle from Mike and we are so happy we did! We left our puppy with Mike for a couple weeks for basic training, and that made it easier when we brought Ozzy home!! Mike is very easy to work with and he loves what he is doing!
All his dogs are well taken care and healthy and happy!!

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome ANOTHER amazing puppy from Mike @ Chicago Labrador and Labradoodle Puppies. Firstly, this is not a business, but a truly extended family. Mike ensures that families are educated and supported throughout the entire process of welcoming a dog into their homes. Then how about welcoming a second dog - he ensured that the personalities of the new puppy and current dog were well matched. His thoughtfulness is seen in every puppy that he breeds. Also having confidence in the overall health of our dogs because of Mikes commitment to DNA and orthopedic testing is great. If you are looking for a hypoallergenic, well-tempered, absolutely adorable lab or doodle look no further!!
Response from the owner:Hi Russell, thank you for the great review and kind words! Definitely an extended family. Our goal is to make 100% certain that we are bringing the healthiest puppies into the world. This can only be done by full panel genetic testing and orthopedic testing. Unfortunately, 90% of breeders' are not doing this testing, and are blindly bringing innocent puppies in to the world. It's up to breeders to be responsible and take every step necessary to ensue they ae breeding happy, healthy puppies!
Jeanette Medina
We got our puppy from here. Overall, the experience was great. Mike was and still is very responsive. I had placed my deposit over a year ago but unfortunately, there were a few people before us in line for a female chocolate lab as well and we weren’t able to get her in the first litter. We did have to wait a few more months for the next litter but throughout, Mike was keeping me updated and answered any questions I had. We got to go meet our girl at around 4 weeks for the first time. And then, we picked her up at 7 weeks to bring home with us. Mike sent us individual updates and posted updates regularly on his business social media pages. Overall, it was an easy process and Mike was friendly and responsive throughout.
Response from the owner:Hi guys! Thank you for the kind words, great review, and for giving little Dama a loving home! Also- thank you for waiting a year to adopt a pup. I truly appreciate your support, patience and understanding!

One just wasn't enough! We lost our beautiful Goldendoodle a few years back. She has several health issue's. When we decided it was time to get another dog we were very concerned that we might get another dog with health issues. It wasn't until we found Labrador and Labradoodles of Chicago that we learned about DNA and orthopedic testing. We adopted a beautiful little mini Labradoodle. We were so happy with her that we decided to adopt a second mini Labradoodle from Mike, best decision ever. Knowing they will live a long healthy life makes us so happy! Thank you Mike for all the work you put into breeding such amazing dogs.
Response from the owner:Look at little Loki and Bandit! Two peas in a pod! lol.. Thank you for the great review, kind words, and for giving two of our pups loving furever homes!
Elizabeth Ball
We feel so lucky to have found Mike and Chicago Labs! We greatly appreciated how Mike handles the whole process from application to pick up - he really cares about his puppies and it shows! Mike has so much knowledge and his website has great details & tips. We are so lucky to have found our girl Mia💗
Alyssa hornbuckle
We adopted our moosey boy from Mike back in early Feb! Mike is very responsive and you can tell his pride is in his career, he loves his animals so much. Even weeks later he is still reaching out to check on him!
Moose had an accident and took an injury to his eye so he is blind in an eye, but other wise healthy and happy! We couldn't have asked for a better pup.
Mladen Mojsilovic
We wanted to surprise our kids with a puppy for Christmas and we didn’t know where to start. Went on google and started searching for golden and labradoodle breeders in the area. Labrador and Labradoodle puppies Chicago came up and it was the closest to our home. After going through the website and talking to Mike on the phone, we felt comfortable and very confident about his puppies. He is very knowledgeable, happy to share all the information, always available to chat and once we brought our puppy home he was always there to walk us through all the steps of adaptation for both our puppy and our family. Can’t believe we had Rollo for 2 months now, he is such a sweet boy, super smart and playful, very energetic and loving… He is just what our family needed.
Thank you Mike !
Sarah Mangan
We got Cooper about 4 years ago and recently got Reggie. Mike was very thorough and thoughtful. He takes the time to explain each dog’s background and the significance of their DNA testing. Mike also took time to follow up on both dogs to check on how they were doing weeks, months, and years after we got them. We have two very happy and healthy labradoodles!
Veronica Pinedo
Huge thank you to Mike for helping us find our fur baby! 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!
Response from the owner:Hi Veronica! Thank you for the great review and kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and finding the perfect pup for you and your family! Little Oso is living his best life!! Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or concerns!

Mike is a very conscientious breeder who knows his way around dogs. We obtained our Labradoodle from him in December 2024 and we are throughly satisfied with our Lady Bella, a mini Labradoodle. Three years ago we had to put down our 14 year old Labradoodle, it was very hard to do. Getting another furry friend was also hard because we knew there would never be a furry friend like her again. Mike knew our story and guided us to a few dogs that would fit our needs. He took all the time needed to tell us about each dog’s personality. We never felt rushed or pressured with our decision.

When we took our new friend Lady Bella to our veterinarian in Grayslake, for her rabies shot and initial office visit, the doctor exclaimed that Bella’s paperwork was the best she had ever seen. Detailed, highly organized, and right on target for other shots. She was extremely impressed and confirmed everything Mike told us to do for our new puppy’s future care.

The DNA and other testing he does on the dogs he breeds is really going the extra mile. You know what you’re getting.

Mike’s follow up with us after we took our puppy home, really put us at ease. He would call and text frequently to see how we were getting along with our Bella. He truly cares about his dogs!
Response from the owner:Hi Bish, thank you so much for the great review and kind words! It was great working with you and helping you find the perfect fit for your family. Little Bella was such a sweetheart, and we miss her, but are glad she found a wonderful furever home!
