Candy answered all my texts in timely fashion. Also, she agreed to meet me for pickup on date of my choice and location closer to Birmingham so as to save me travel time of 2 hours (round trip). My Sassy so named as she is quite talkative especially when she wants her way. She is such a delight - very happy with sunny disposition which is characteristic of Havanese. After a bout initially with ear mites, Sassy is healthy and thriving. I am glad to have found Sassy through Candy.

Candy was so responsive every time I contacted her with a question. She was willing to work around our crazy schedule to accommodate a time for us to pick up the puppy. She sent us updates and pictures along the way. Very nice and easy to communicate with. We chose her as a breeder because we could tell the puppies were well cared for, socialized, and loved. We are absolutely in love with our puppy. She is so happy, well adjusted, and the smartest dog! Everyone who meets her loves her and comments on what a sweet disposition she has.
