21. How do I buy a pup, is a deposit needed?

A deposit is the best way to reserve the poodle puppy of your choice. I often receive several inquiries about the same puppy. Everyone is sent information and photos on the puppy and its parents. Depending on the maturity, puppies are sold at six weeks of age. I hold puppies with a deposit of half the full price. By six weeks of age the chosen puppy MUST be paid for in full. Larger more mature pups can be picked up at this point, but smaller ones may have to stay for 8 weeks. If you decide not to complete the purchase, your deposit will be returned LESS $100.00 . If the puppy is not paid in full as outlined above, OR is not picked up within 10 days of the agreed pickup time, the buyer forfeits the right to the puppy and it will be resold. Deposit (less $100.00 ) will be returned to buyer.
