Re: No family visits until after pups are 4 weeks of age

breeder2
How do you take deposits and make the people wait to see the puppy at eight weeks especially over the internet with the new laws? Most people do want to see their puppy or see how you and your dogs live.
How do you pick the puppy for the people?
My last litter people drove as much as 7 hours to see the puppy in order to purchase a puppy from me because of the USDA laws. I am under 4 females and don't need to give away more money to the Government.
I would love this information and to have some of the weekends to ourselves! Can they make a deposit without seeing the puppy and pick up at eight weeks if you offer to refund the deposit?


People can put deposits down sight unseen, but you need to have the new owner, the puppy, and you at the same location when they take possession of the puppy. Most of my new owners see their puppies for the first time when they come to pick it up, but that same puppy was spoken for with a deposit months in advance. If you are under 4 females, it doesn't matter that you sell sight unseen anyway.
