Deposits are very common. I had to put one down on Layla. Its so the breeder knows you are coming to get your dog... they dont' want you to say you are buying the dog and then change your mind and they could have sold it to someone else. And for you it makes sure you get the dog you asked for... you've put money down on it to say that you are commited to buying that dog. USually, if for whatever reason the dog cannot be sold (it gets sick) you will get your deposit back. however you cannot back out usually and say you want it back...
