In my experience a lot of things can happen between the time they leave a deposit and the time the puppy is old enough to go home.
I don't want any broken hearts. 
Don't get me wrong, once the potential buyers are approved they can come over and take a peek. And then I contact them when the pups are ready to go.JMO |
I completly agree. Why should a buyer be forced to buy "your" puppy. I think the breeder should wait till 12 weeks old and sell the puppy to whom they think is the
best home. The breeder may find things out after a deposit is made and may not want that buyer to have one of their puppies afterall. This is my opinion. I have been on both sides of that fence. Then on the side of the buyer, maybe after looking at several different breeders, they may want more than a companion puppy. They may want to show later and after learning what is out there should be allowed to buy a puppy that has or at least the potential of show quality. If the breeder is breeding for quality and not quantity or just experimenting, hopefully, they will try harder to produce quality or as perfect as one can do. JMO
