If for any reason you are unable to or decide not to take the puppy you put a deposit on, it can be applied to a future litter. However, we do not "reward" people for this practice, so you will only be given 3rd pic, of "available puppies". If we keep a puppy from the litter, it does not count as an "available puppy", therefore, you would then be at 4th pick. If not enough puppies are born, you will have to wait longer. Do you understand?
