Candy Carlsen

Candy Carlsen raises Havanese in Ladera Ranch, California, in Orange County near Irvine. She has been involved in Havanese care and breeding with guidance from national breed club standards and routine health screening. Puppies grow up indoors as part of the family and begin socialization with children, other pets and daily household life.

Her commitment to early training and gentle handling supports confident temperaments suited to companion roles. Health clearances include patellar evaluation and eye examinations to help ensure robust well-being. She stays up to date on breed research and collaborates with other breeders to uphold best practices. Each puppy is evaluated for structure and personality before joining its new home, reflecting a long tradition of attentive husbandry. Families often note the calm, adaptable nature of these little dogs, a quality Candy Carlsen maintains as a hallmark of her breeding program.
