Hi Jackie,
I gather from your post that you would like to buy a pup, but can't
afford the lump sum. Why don't you buy a money order or
cashiers/bank check using your credit card? That way, you have the
cash to pay the breeder and the breeder will never know you used a
credit card. Also, if someone accepts a credit card payment and
the purchase price is over a certain amount, then the seller must
pay a fee to the credit card company. That's the only reason that
I, as a breeder, would not accept credit cards.

PS There's usually a surcharge of 3% of the requested amount, but
if you can't afford the surcharge, then you shouldn't buy the dog.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Credit Cards and Puppy Purchases
Hey all, I have yet another ponderance.
What is your take on using credit cards to purchase puppies? On
the one
hand, it seems to kind of cheapen the purchase, even though by law,
when we sell
pups, we are selling property.
My view is: It allows people that cannot afford $1000 outright to
get their
baby. I mean, you still get paid right? And I know lots of
breeders feel that
"If you can't afford $1000 for a puppy how can you afford its
care?", but
that line of thought really doesn't work, because, aside from the
initial clump
of bills (for the vet check and the shots), the dog's bills for
care are spread
throughout it's life. It can be REALLY hard for somebody looking
for their
first well bred dog to afford that.
They can afford the care, but when you put a big $1000 right in
with the rest
of it's initial care in the first week, well, it can give you a big
ouch and
cause you to worry.
Anyway, your thoughts please?
- Jackie
