John Huyard's New Holland kennel was searched on Nov. 19 after the PSPCA received a report of dogs being neglected there, the animal welfare agency says.
The PSPCA says three Maltese-type dogs were removed from the property as evidence, and were taken to the group's headquarters in Philadelphia to receive medical care. Photos of the animals are evidence in an ongoing criminal case and were not immediately available for release, a PSPCA spokesperson said.
According to the group, Huyard previously pleaded guilty to multiple dog law violations related to his failure to keep sanitary kennels in late 2015.
State records show a kennel named "John Huyard's Maltese World" on Stauffer Road in New Holland that was last licensed by the state in 2015.
The last inspection of the kennel took place on Feb. 3, 2015 and according to state records found a total of five adult dogs and no puppies inside.
According to a report, the kennel was compliant with state rules and regulations at the time of that inspection. But an October 2015 state inspection cites a laundry list of violations, including incomplete medical records for the dogs, unsanitary conditions and "overall dirty and unmaintained conditions inside the shed where dogs are kept." Huyard was directed to clean the facilities and was and told to follow up.
An attempt to determine if the latest charges against Huyard would impact his breeding license with the state was not immediately successful.
