________ Labradors is a hobby, not a business. (Owner/breeder) retains the final decision as to whether or not a puppy will be made available to any individual or family for any reason.
It is your choice as the breeder to decide where your pups go.
You can talk on the phone forever to the most wonderful people to have them show up at your home with kids that are completely out of control and you realize this is not the right family (for any of your pups).
Give them back their deposit check and move on.
This is one reason I do not cash deposit checks. once cashed some states see that as a contract of sale.
I never take deposits. I have people come over when the puppies are about 5 weeks old. I tell them if we are all happy with each other & the puppies, I will take a deposit at that time. They know that it is not a done deal until I take the deposit.

I like this, though wouldn't refer to myself as "owner" since it's not a business.
I have a spot on my questionnaire where they have to acknowledge that they realize just because they fill out a questionnaire, it does not mean they will end up with one of my puppies. They need to check that off or the questionnaire doesn't come through.
I also have a spot on mine that asks if it's ok if I pass their information onto another breeder if I don't have a puppy for them.
