Reviews of Narnia Kennels in Mount Elgin

Date of Transaction
The dog was paid for on November 18, 2022 and delivered to me, in Mexico, on November 30, 2022.
Nature of the Dispute
Reo is an intelligent dog, as stated in an earlier email. What she seriously lacks is the
temperament to consistently apply what she has been taught on a day-to-day basis.
We teach the same things over and over and over and over every day. This is obviously
inconsistent with your initial claims regarding her “good obedience” training.
Please notice that in the pictures you sent of the dog proffered for purchase, and which
I presumed I had indeed purchased, her tongue is perfectly pink at 18+ months old. The
dog that I received has a melanin-spotted tongue. While the development of this trait is
not unusual at birth, or in early puppy-hood, the development of such a trait at nearly
two years of age (after she arrived in Mexico) is not a likelihood at all. This would imply that this is not the same dog as advertised.
Has the Business Tried to Resolve the Problem?
The owner of the business has not tried to resolve the dispute at all. In fact, I have not recieved a single responsive communication from Robin Winter, the business owner, with regard to this complaint.

Amount of Money Paid
I paid a grand total of $5,650 (United States Dollars) for the dog and its delivery to Mexico.
Narnia Kennels agreed to the following as to the characteristics of the dog:
“Reo has good obedience, and compared to the average pet dog, definitely is more
trained and more responsive and trained than many pet dogs, but she hasn’t been
trained and cultivated to be a working Schutzhund competition dog the way Yamaha
was.” (June 2022)
