I would EXPECT to pay a deposit....Who's to stop the breeder from just making a promise and not keeping it to someone who has money in their hand. And IF I put a deposit down on a puppy - I wouldn't expect it back because that same breeder would not have been showing that puppy to a potential client.
I think deposits protect both buyer and seller.
except on Puppyfind.com where chances are ....once you send in a deposit....you'll
never see a puppy
Can we say
www.ScamYou.com ?
