I know it sucks, but I have to agree with the others. When we first started out we were gullible and often held animals for people on a promise. At one time somebodies word was as good as cash in hand. Not nowadays.

We do not hold anything now, with the exception that sometimes we will accept a non-refundable cash deposit, but that is on a case to case basis.

As I've said before, the bigger breeders/sellers must have the patience of a saint because in our experience, we might have one actual buyer for every 20+ replies/inquiries we get.
