Payment Plans For Purchasing Dog? - Page 3

I would rather have the puppy in his permanent home, bonding w/his owner, than wasting away on my property so I can make sure I have every penny before he goes.

I don't "extend" the idea, either. I had a few people whom I sort of knew (from forums, not met personally) ask if I would consider it, and so far, it's worked out great for all involved, but most especially, the puppies.

I'm not a breeder, but I can see where there may be room for such arrangements with customers that are vouched for by a close acquaintance.  There is also the old "lay-away plan" which is not that far off the deposits many breeders take these days.  Could work as one third on deposit, another upon birth and the final upon delivery...  Certainly hold off on the papers until the balance is paid.

I am in agreement with Steve, I believe this is reasonable: in a deposit (600 US), next payment when picking the pup (half of what is due), then the last payment when the pup goes home with new owner (balance due).  I am not a breeder but this is how I have purchased my dogs in the past.
Always,
