I had four people writing me several times a day about a little girl and one even went as far as to say she was making plan reservations to fly and get her but no one wanted to commit with a deposit for one reason or another. i was trying to be fair to them all and kept holding people off while the other people were trying to make up their mind. Finally after about two weeks and these same four people going round and round trying to decide what to do and keeping me hanging with no deposit( because I was trying to be nice to them all and give them time), one girl said she wanted her and would send the deposit that day and come get her in the next day or so. I took her deposit because I felt like the other potential buyers weren't being fair to me as a breeder. |
I can definitely see this from a breeder's standpoint too. It's not fair to ask a breeder to hold a puppy without a deposit, especially if there are potential buyers waiting.
