Lol Evan, I'm too anal for that. I want everything wrapped up and tied in
a neat bow. I make my decisions on what I will hold back between 5 & 6 weeks
and just need to know that marvelous homes w/ committed owners are lined up
for the rest <G>. So when such a home comes along and I have something
available, I take a deposit.
You know what would scare me to death? Waiting for the AM when they turn 8
weeks, having only nice conversations and e-mails exchanged w/ potential
puppy prospects and no one showing up because they found something in the
interim.
That almost happened w/ a litter before I took deposits. I thought the
puppies were spoken for and turned folks away. When it came to 6 weeks and I
got
on the phone to schedule visits, this one had a friend at work who had a
litter, that one found something else...panic! So, now deposits and enough of
one that it is a commitment.
No one seems to mind either and I think on the buying end, they buyers feel
good knowing they have a puppy coming for sure....

I guess it all depends on how much of a deposit you take. A lot of us
take
1/2....
We try hard not to take a deposit. We tell people that the puppy will be
available, and when they get here, if it is still here, it will go home with
them. I think taking deposits is just asking for problems. When we do
take a
deposit, we don't cash the check, or deposit the cash. We hold it, and make
sure we can provide the puppy, and if either of us changes out minds, the
fund
are returned. It is just the way I work, and I do too much litigation to
put
myself into a situation where we might end up in court.
