Testimonials

Our story is unique….this is our Boomer (Faith/Rio 2012)….we did not get him as a puppy. His original
owner could not keep Boomer ….he contacted Steve and Steve agreed to take Boomer back at 16
months and help find him a home. That speaks volumes about Steve….he would not let one of his puppies
go to a shelter, he wanted to make sure Boomer would be ok. He put Boomer on FB advertising him and
we fell in love. Steve wasnt looking to make money on Boomer….we got him at very reduced price.That
also speaks volumes ! Steve only wanted Boomer to find a good home. We were already on a list for a
puppy, we lost our lab only a few months before. My husband found Elite on line and we loved the look of
the Elite labs. Steve made our process smooth and easy…..I feel like we won the lotto that day. Boomer is
the sweetest boy….gorgeous and so smart…all he wants to do is to please us! I am so proud to be part of
the Michigan Elite family.

Our baby Juno, (Gracie/Bach, February 2015), on the right, joined big sister Bailey, ( honorary Elite lab),
in April. Steve made the whole process so easy, and he was so helpful when we took our new baby
home. My favorite part is the Facebook page that is full of other Elite families. It is so much fun to watch
Juno’s litter mates, half siblings, and other Elite dogs growing up. We share stories, ask each other
questions, share advice, and LOTS of pictures. We have met up for play dates, and laugh at each others’
puppies. I especially love when new litters go home with new Elite families, and we get to watch new
puppies and their families. Thanks for everything Steve and Alisha!

We are so blessed to have found our Ruby @ Michigan Elite Labs. We have a 2 year old yellow Lab
named Ruby. She is smart, gorgeous, & loving. To know Ruby is to love her! We wouldn’t think of going
anywhere else to get a Lab. Steve is always just a phone call away if you have any questions, & he knows
all about his Labs. Just an extra note Ruby was on the cover of ”Just Labs” magazine in 2015.We love
our Ruby! Thanks Steve & Alisha

For over a decade my husband and I dreamed of starting our family with a fur baby…We feel so blessed
to have found Michigan Elite Labs!!! We never realized in making that exciting trip out to Wheeler, MI that
not only would we meet a puppy that has forever stolen our hearts but we would become part of such a
loving, caring community- no family! Steve and Alisha have a beautiful facility that is welcoming, well kept,
and above all a business that you can tell is a labor of love for them. They have a true passion for raising
and caring for these dogs and you can tell in each and every single puppy and their parents that they are
well-bred, loving, charismatic wonderful family dogs. I know that each and every dog is exceptional
because as I stated before… I am now a part of the Mi Elite family, which means that daily I can see
updates, posts, pictures and messages about Elite puppies, their parents and brothers and sisters. This
means so much to us especially since our first love (Mr. Shotty) passed away from a tragic accident. To
be able to see his brothers, sisters and mom (Gracie) warms our hearts! We look forward to growing our
family in the future with Elite labs and are just so grateful to have found all of you!!

Our Luna (Gracie & Bach) is 10 months old. We are so in love with her, smart, so sweet and a clown. Her
favorite place to be is in my husbands upside down getting a belly rub. This Elite family is wonderful, Steve and everyone are always willing to help with any questions, I thought I was a dog nut, but Steve and my Elite family are as nutty about their pups as I am. When I met Steve’s dogs, I wanted one because of their sweetness and how much they loved Steve. I’m glad to part of the Elite family!

What impressed us initially was the testimonials on the MI elite page. But when everyone who owned one of these dogs wanted to have a ‘reunion’, I knew we had to meet some of these dogs. The temperament, the way the Karp’s treated all their dogs and puppies, sold me. Our puppy Obi (Lovey/Bach) is everything I could have hoped for and so, so much more. I have never had a dog as loving AND as smart as my MI elite lab. And now to be a part of the MEL family, truly feels elite. Obi is only 5months old and amazing at the verbal and hand commands he responds to. He is a wonderful family dog. We recommend MI elite to everyone who asks where we got this beautiful dog.

We are so happy and blessed to have found MI Elite labs. Our Charlie Girl (Zillow/Bach 14) is 1 and we are so impressed by her. She has such a loving demeanor and is very smart. She already shows great instinct for
hunting, too. Everyone that meets her falls in love with her. We are truly amazed by all of the lab to be an Elite. We truly appreciate the professionalism, knowledge and passion that Steve and Alisha show toward their labs. Anytime we have had a question, Steve is always quick to reply. It’s been wonderful being a part of the Elite Family.
