What Reviews Say

40 reviews analyzed

Narnia Kennels is a highly polarizing breeder with a stark contrast between customer experiences. While many clients praise Robin's deep expertise, clean facilities, and ability to match high-drive dogs to the right homes, a significant minority report serious genetic health issues like hip dysplasia and a total breakdown in communication when problems arise. The facility appears excellent for working-line enthusiasts, but potential buyers should be wary of reported difficulties in obtaining registration papers and support for medical complications.

Staff shoutouts

Robin(18 mentions)

Worth noting

Severe genetic health issues (Hip/Elbow Dysplasia)

New puppy was diagnosed with moderate dysplasia in one hip and mild dysplasia in the other hip and both elbows

Unresponsive regarding health/pedigree documentation

Still no papers Aug 2022. Several calls emails etc. Robin does not return any of them.

Severe aggression/behavioral instability

He has bitten myself and 2 other people due to this... the only advice I've been given is that he may just not be right in the head and the best course of action would be to euthanize.

Health issues (Dysplasia/Limping)(4 mentions)

At 5 months old I cannot allow the dog to run as it results in limping.

Lack of communication/Ghosting(5 mentions)

Breeder is clearly not willing to discuss or refund any money as there is no response to my messages.

Missing registration papers(2 mentions)

My girl born April 2021 Still no papers Aug 2022.
