DEPOSITS ON PUPPIES
I accept $200.00 non-refundable deposits to hold a puppy until it is time
for it to go to it's new home.  It must be understood these deposits are 
strictly NON-REFUNDABLE.  If you do not understand or agree with this...
please DO NOT send a deposit!...I will not refund it!
Deposits serve several purposes...
(1)Deposits assure the puppy buyer they can get the puppy of their 
choice.

(2)Deposits are one of the things I consider when agreeing to place a 
puppy with someone.  If the puppy is not ready to leave me and the 
buyer is willing to place a non-refundable deposit on the puppy it tells
me they are serious about adding one of my puppies to their family.
  
(3)Deposits help insure the well being of my puppies.  Consider this...
If I did not accept non-refundable deposits, many people would simple
ask me to hold a puppy for them and when I do and they are not as 
serious as I think...I watch this precious puppy grow thinking it's new
family is waiting for it.  I do not consider another home for this puppy.  
Anyone asking about a puppy is told none are available.  THEN when the
puppy is ready to leave for it's new home, I find out the people were not 
as serious about adding this puppy to their home as I thought.  The puppy
has missed several opportunities to go to loving homes.  This simply isn't
fair to my puppies or to people interesting in adding one of my puppies to 
their family.  Non-refundable deposits help insure my puppies go to
responsible homes. 

(4)I work hard to raise happy healthy puppies.  I do give a written health 
guarantee.  If at any time, while I am raising a puppy, it is found not to be
a happy healthy puppy..of course the deposit is immediately returned.  
Putting a deposit on one of my puppies is the same as purchasing one...
you are guaranteed a happy healthy puppy.  Think of the deposit as a 
down payment on a wonderful puppy from a responsible breeder.

I want the very best for my puppies.  Non-Refundable Deposits are just
one of the ways I accomplish this.
