That's how we are too. We put a deposit down after carefully looking at several puppies to reserve OUR girl - the larger, more energetic female that was a better fit for our home with rescued beagle puppy and two young children. :-)
We put the deposit down to reserve the one we wanted.
We paid out the remainder the next week.
Not becuase we can't afford vet care - but because I refuse to go into to debt to purchase an animal. :-) I wouldn't, however, refuse to tap into savings or charge vet bills to a card if necessary just like I would never refuse to take my children to the doctors when needed.
But I also understand that not everyone is as resposible as most of us on this group are - after all....those of us here are here becuase we care about the breed and our animals.
