Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Mike Carosello's Labrador Retrievers located in Licking, MO. I am a dog trainer and breed sound, healthy, trainable, hunting dogs. I care deeply about the well-being of all of my dogs and pups. Nothing brings me more fulfillment in life than seeing my puppies grow up and reach their fullest potential. I love connecting families with their new four-legged family member.
