REGARDING DEPOSITS. About 25 years ago, a breeder in Texas told us that she only took small $500 deposits because “people back out all the time — it’s free money.” Those were her exact words.
That advice had the opposite effect on us. We didn’t want to attract the kind of buyers who “back out all the time.” We wanted committed families. We believe families ALSO want a committed Breeder.
We have had dozens of families buy from us over the years – AFTER they were devastated because another breeder sold their “ reserved” puppy. We hear this OFTEN. It was easy to figure out a small deposit was given,and the breeder fished around for other families she preferred then refunded the low deposit. Commitment is a 2 way street. Convenience of a small deposit is not worth your heart is broken because a person you chose to buy from was not committed to you. It’s important to choose a breeder whose policies reflect long-term responsibility toward you.
