A $450 deposit is required to hold a puppy in your name. All deposits are first come/first served! This means the first deposit received by DeHaan Labs will give the party who sent that deposit the first choice of all the puppies in the litter. DeHaan Labs will accept 3 deposits for male puppies and 3 deposits for female puppies. In the case of an all yellow litter, a deposit only holds your choice of a male or female; not the shade of yellow (ie, Fox red or light colored yellow). Once the litter has been whelped AND a puppy you have placed a deposit on has been born, the deposit is non refundable. DeHaan Labs reserves the right to keep a upup from any litter and deposit holders will be informed by the time the litter is 5 weeks old.
