d'oh! Hate it when that happens.
For consignment, yes, there are some risks involved, though the amount of money the store makes on the deal need not necessarily be less than on an animal they bought outright. Another possibility is to keep a list of local breeders who have specific animals, and list them in your store as "able to acquire"--interested people could then tell you when they want one, and you could order the animal from the breeder that way, too. (This is probably old news, but bear with me, I just thought of it..).
Thank you for the tip on going into a store with enough funding. I think it's true of most businesses, that you should never assume you're going to make a profit, particularly in the first year.
