Q. & A. with Lesley
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for animals and life on our small farm, where we raise our family alongside dogs and horses, inspired us to begin breeding Cavapoos. We wanted to share the joy our dogs bring by raising well-loved puppies with thoughtful care, health-tested parents, and early socialization. That passion became Payne’s Legacy Farm.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home on our small family farm, with daily love and gentle handling from our family, including our two daughters. Health-tested parents, early socialization, and crate introductions help give them a strong start. We share regular photos and updates so families feel connected before their puppy comes home.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, white, sable, chocolate, black and white, black and tan, black, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
