You and me both. Some people are so bad mannered it's untrue - a quick phone call or even an email to say they've changed their minds isn't too much to ask, surely.

Have you had this scenario too? People come to see the pups; you vet them as potential owners; they go home to make their decision; they ring up to say they've decided to have one and are sending a deposit so would you hold one for them; you turn away several other possible buyers while waiting for the deposit to arrive - and then five days down the line you ring them to say you haven't received anything only to be told they've changed their minds!

As I said, it's plain bad manners!
