ALL breeders, show or not, ask for a deposit unless the puppy is ready to go then you will pay full price plus all shippng charges. Why should a breeder hold a puppy for someone and miss out on a sale to someone else then have the first person change their mind after the puppy has been held for them. For instance, I have a litter. I am only taking a deposit on the one available boy. But i will need a deposit to hold. the girls, I am keeping for a while to see if they are something I want to keep. if not, then I will offer them for sale but they will be ready to leave by then and the full amount would be paid. i don't need boyss or this boy I am selling would be done the same way. I have several people interested so whichever one is serious enough to send the deposit is the one that will get the puppy. no deposit? i feel they are just toying with me and are not serious.
