Looking for some opinions. About a month ago, I visited a breeder and placed a deposit on a litter due mid July. I was one of the early ones to place a deposit on this litter and had a good pick in line.
The breeder had two other litters due this summer with nearly full waitlists, but it was just announced those dams are not pregnant.
So the breeder is allowing all of those people who placed deposits before me to choose a puppy from my litter, if they wish. Since there is only one litter due this summer, she is going by date the deposit was given, regardless of which litter.
I most likely won’t get a puppy given there are about 14 other families who deposited on the other litters. I am quite shocked and don’t know if this is normal practice?
Assuming I get bumped, I can either wait for another litter or get my deposit refunded.
I just don’t know what to think. I assumed I would keep my place in line regardless of what’s happening with the other litters.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. I don’t really know how to respond yet but very sad realizing we probably won’t get a puppy from this litter.
