I'm going to visit my puppy on Wednesday and the breeder is expecting a deposit. She seems trustworthy and we've spoken many times, but you never know, so for legal reasons I'd really like a record of the transaction. Anyway, what should I expect?

It included the litter/parents/expected birthdate and amount of deposit. If I hadn't been automatically given a receipt, I would have asked for one. When the litter was 4 weeks old, I paid the full amount (didn't have to pick the pup that soon, though) and we both signed a contract and bill of sale. Hope that helps. Carbon

We also have what we call a "puppy price and reservation" form so we and the new owner have a record of what type of puppy they wish to purchase/put a deposit on (m/f, breeding/pet quality, etc.). This is signed by and protects both parties. If your breeder doesn't have anything similar, it's more than okay to ask for something in writing.

Heather Williams Webboard User Reg: 10-10-2006 Posts: 358 Loc: Toronto, ON Offline	Thanks everyone, I'll feel a little more comfortable asking for a record of the transaction knowing that it's common/expected. Hopefully, I won't even need to ask!
