Open Deposits
Hold a Spot Before the Litter Exists

Let serious families place a standing deposit before puppies are even born — then apply it to their sale with one click when they choose a puppy.

Why breeders use it

What Open Deposits Does for Your Program

Serious families can put money down to hold their place in line before puppies are even born — and when they pick their puppy, that money counts toward the price.

Commitment up front

Families put money down to hold a place in line, which keeps your waitlist honest and your pipeline funded.

Your policy, in writing

Your deposit amount and refund policy are shown before anyone pays, and a snapshot is kept with each deposit.
