They said that if someone is coming from out of town, they may hold a pup for a couple of hours but it's basically first come, first serve. I do not know yet how I feel about this, but I can see their side.
I haven't bought a pup yet but I have this specific breeder whom I am sure to buy a pup from near future. She doesn't take deposit either. I am confident that I will buy a pup from her but it feels good about her non-deposit policy. so i can really decide the pup whenever I am ready and also can see which litter I might want to get a baby from. Buying a yorkie is not like buying a stuffed animal from disney store or anything.. so.. I can understand the concerns. Then at the same time, there are things that breeders cannot commit such as weight etc... as many have already said.
