I have always, 100% for any reason, good or bad returned the deposit..why force someone to take your puppy or lose their money.....Yorkies are extremely popular and not hard to place..if the breeder had an ad in the newspaper and wanted to deduct the cost for a new ad, I see that fair, otherwise what expenses would rack up?? The pup needs shots, vet care, food etc, as long as it is in the breeders hands anyway...

Some years ago a breeder/friend took a $500 deposit on a bitch we co-owned...she refused to return it when the buyers husband had a stroke. I returned the money myself, told the buyer I would deal with the co-owner..and it bought me such good will..my grooming/boarding business went through the roof...and so did the requests for my puppies. You can not buy a good reputation...well, I guess that is not true..it cost me $500..LOL

The breeder/friend and I parted ways..I asked her to simply treat this woman the way she would want to be in the situation..she refused to return a dollar.
