Please check through the web site as you will find most of your questions answered here, and please email if you have unanswered questions or would like to purchase one of my dog-children. Thank you :-)
The fastest way to reach me is by email. I try to answer emails a minimum of once a day. I am usually outside with the dogs, or am gone training dogs, or am busy with clients, so I am NOT often by the phone. I have found it faster and easier to reply by email rather than play phone tag for days.
If you are in or near Southern California, I suggest you schedule a visit to come and meet the dogs in person. It is best to contact me a few days before you would like to come out so I can set aside time for just you :-)
If you would like to reach me, my Email address is: grunenfeld@gmail.com I will email you back very quickly, and will be happy to answer questions you may have. I will also include a questionnaire for you to fill out. If I feel one of my puppies would please you, I am happy to chat on the phone with you if you wish, but all initial contact is via email..

If you are interested in a puppy that is listed as ALREADY BORN on the Puppies For Sale page, then you submit a Holding Deposit. That Holding Deposit is for that specific litter, sex of puppy, color and hair length. The Holding Deposit is $500, and is NON REFUNDABLE unless for un-for-seen reasons the puppy is not available as promised. The Holding Deposit is credited towards the purchase if you complete the purchase and buy the reserved puppy.
If you are interested in a puppy in the future, that is NOT YET BORN, then you may wish to join the Priority List. People list what sex, color, and hair length they will want when they are ready to buy a puppy. Each time a litter is born that meets your desires, you are offered a chance to reserve a puppy from that litter before anyone that is not on the Priority List. The Priority List is for people that know they want one of my puppies, but must wait for a future litter. There is a $100 fee to join the Priority List. It is credited towards the Holding Deposit when you actually choose to reserve a puppy from a particular litter.
No puppy is reserved until I actually RECEIVE the Holding Deposit. I'm sorry, but here are no exceptions due to years of too many 'the check's in the mail' promises from people that sound CERTAIN that they couldn't live with out one of my dogs, then I never heard from them again. I held the puppy, not selling it to other good homes, and then the people did not follow through..
I do not sell a puppy to every person that wants one of my wonderful dogs. Not everyone is really ready to own a dog, much less a Protection breed. I want my puppies in happy 'forever' homes, so I will have questions to ask you before I accept any money from you. Buying a puppy should be a well thought out decision, not done on the spur of the moment.
