Once you choose a puppy it s removed from the AVAILABLE list and buyers may not choose this pup. Valuable time is lost in advertising and additional expenses incurred in food, shots and housing as a new buyer is located. If you change pups, one replaces another so deposit changes to another pup, and all stays even. In rare cases we may have someone as back up for your pup and be able to refund your deposit, but this is rare. Please make sure you are sure before placing a deposit on your new pup! We hate the feeling of keeping deposits. 1
