Upon reading all of the complaints against Christi Harmon, I felt compelled to write a note to everyone have had illness or even death with the puppies you purchased from Christi. I to have received a sick puppy, February 29, 2008 he flew in and was a mess. I previously bought 2 other Beagles from Christi and figured it was just a fluke since the first two had been fine. I was wrong after reading all the stories and complaints regarding Christi.

Christi offered to give us our money back on the third pup, which I thought was a nice gesture until she told me how much of our 3rd purchase from her was shipping and how much was actually for the pup. It doesn't even cover our vet bills to date or to come. Not to mention that our first two puppies are now infected with Coccidia and on medication also. After the Coccidia and Kennel Cough clears up, our 3rd pup needs to be tested for Mange. Hopefully the other two don't contract that also.

I have done a lot of research and mad a lot of calls today, and I would urge anyone who has a complaint to call the Missouri Division of Animal Health @ 573-526-2059. Some of you have contacted them and filed complaints but until everyone who has a problem with a puppy from Christi calls them, nothing will change and more people will get unhealthy pets/companions.

My best to all who are dealing with sick puppies, I hope each and everyone regains full health.

Sunnyview, MO is a real town

AUTHOR: Walnut Hill - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, April 10, 2009

Just FYI, it's not really a town per-se, but an area just outside of Lebanon, MO. There are homes and a few stores. There is a state sign that says "SUNNYVIEW" - it's more of a little berg that never grew.

New Name for Christi & Cody Harmon....."Big Paws" in Sunnyview, MO. FAKE Town!

AUTHOR: PuppyMillWatcher - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, June 02, 2008

They are at it again...Everyone beware of Christi & Cody Harmon.
Live on Hwy 32 outside of Lebanon, MO.
AKA...Double C Ranch, AKA...Christi's Puppies, AKA...Cody & Chris...
New alias is "Big Paws". in Sunnyview, MO ...There is NO such town in the state of Missouri!
They are using another person's phone number too.
It is a local Lebanon, MO number.
Such lies to cover up a Puppy mill operation! It's amazing the lengths
they go to, to keep the truth covered up.
To try to sell to unsuspecting persons....
Anyway, more of the same....Constant breeding of the same dogs,
even pet quality is just not close at all in these pups and
high prices to support this pathetic way to make a living.

Christi Harmon now using the name "Codi Christy" and her mother is using "Don Paula"

AUTHOR: Watchdog - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, March 18, 2008

Apparently all of the reports on this site caused Christi to cut out her ads temporarily. They are back up now using the name "Codi Christy" and her mothers ads are under "Don Paula" now. Buyer beware. Christi removed her ads from Puppyfind.com because the unsatisfied buyers with sick puppies were able to communicate. There are very few negative reviews there because Christi and Paula are able to delete them. If this has happened to you, contact Puppyfind.com and send them your vet bills, etc. They will put it back up - that is if Christi uses them for any future advertising. She will probably cancel her account again (she did that last fall) and start fresh putting up great reviews for herself while posing as a satisfied customer! There have been at least a few newfies with mange come out of her "kennel"!

Christi Harmon, Harmon Kennels Sick Puppies

AUTHOR: Cassandra - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, March 13, 2008

According to the Missouri Division of Animals Service, when a kennel is inspected it is only inspected for proper food, water and shelter. If the animals are not displaying any type of symptoms of being ill, of course Christi will pass her inspection with flying colors. Again another reason people need to report any problems or illnesses with puppies that have been purchased from Christis kennel.

Christi states that she has spent $30,000 on a building just for her puppies and she has monthly vet bills for wormers, vaccines and treats for her dogs, if this is the case then why did I receive a typed piece of paper with what my puppies supposedly had for vaccines and wormers instead of actual vet records. If she has the vet administer the puppies vaccines why is it that her husband Cody told me on the phone when we bought our first two puppies that the day they were to be shipped they would be 8 weeks and they would give them vaccines the day they flew out?

I asked him if they actually did it or a vet did, he said to me that since they were breeders they could vaccinate the puppies. Which backs up the Small Animal Health Certificate that state and is signed by the vet that the breeder gives other vaccines. So what vaccines have our puppies actually had, there is no proof they have had any. See rebuttal on 02/05/08, Christi says, Anyone can call my vet and see that we are honest people. They see all of our puppies and can verify what kind of business that we run. See rebuttal from 11/15/07, Christi says I give my shots according to my vet. Which is it? Who gives the vaccines?

Christi states that she is a Licensed Facility, Christi Harmon Double C Ranch, (doesnt do business under any other name) but the complaints filed with the Missouri Attorney Generals Office list her as Christi Harmon and Harmon Kennels. How many names does Christi operate under? As for her business address that she say the spellings are all different, may be true, but they are all #28624. It doesnt matter how you spell or abbreviate highway there is only on address on Highway 32 with the number 28624, Christi Harmon, Double C Ranch, Harmon Kennels or what ever name she wants to operate under. Rebuttal from 11/14/07 (Chase, LaBelle FL) lists a pedigree from Harmons Cash and Macan.

They only thing that doesnt change in all of Christis rebuttals is her phone number and her Vets phone number, oh and the fact that she swears she doesnt sell sick puppies.

Well and update on my 3, they have all had Coccidia, only the third one had kennel cough and they all are currently being treated for worms. Our third pup with the kennel cough and coccidian had a yeast infection in his ears and goes back to the vets today for a skin scrap to be tested for mange. He has finally put on some weight also.

Christi last email to me was offering me another puppies in the summer to pay for the vet bills. First, I have 3 puppies now; I would be even crazier to take a 4th puppy from her. Second what does she think, if I took another one I would sell it to off set the vet bills I currently have and be liable for selling someone else one of her sick puppies?

I do hope that people check out any breeder before buying a puppy from them, my husband and I didnt and have learned a valuable lesson. We love our 3 pups, but this is what gives good breeders a bad rap!

I dont know why but I just looked at the paper work on our 3 pups, Christi told me that our first two and the 3rd pup had the same dads. According to the paper work I have to file with the United All Breed Registry, they dont! Our 3rd pup was from a litter of 2 according to Christi, the United All Breed Registry says there where 6!

I have contacted the Missouri Division of Animal Services, I am filing a compliant with the Missouri Attorney General, contacted Delta Airline, and I am in the process of filing a complaint with New Hampshire Attorney Generals Office.

Hope everyone is getting his or her puppies healthy!
