Our beagles are in high demand due to their field champion bloodlines. Unless we get a deposit, we do not hold the puppy. Heck, you could be holding a puppy for someone that was only 'shopping". We learned the hard way to take deposits. We only ask a fifty dollar deposit and it is not refundable unless something happens on our end. For instance, the pup dies. The deposit lets us know who is serious. We have had some people say, "I will get your deposit right out tomorrow". Well, tomorrow never comes. we give those people a benefit of a doubt and call them to see if they still want the pup. If they do, we give them one week to get the deposit to us, or the pup is sold to the next person on the list.
