One question - his kennel license allows him to keep 250 breeder dogs? I think this needs to be changed. No one should have 250 dogs, let alone for breeding purposes.
I'm glad the humane league was able to come in and rescue some of these dogs, it's just too bad they couldn't get them all. Hopefully this guy will be put out of business. There needs to be a final line, how many times can they fine people before enough is enough.

"Four kennel compliance specialists come on board at the bureau this month. Their sole responsibility is ferreting out puppy mills."

My guess is that it shouldn't be too hard "ferreting out puppy mills."

This guy actually has a K5 kennel license, which allows him to have 251+ dogs on his property. So, although the article states that he has 250 dogs, he could legally have 300, 400, or upwards of 500 dogs. Who really knows how many there are, counting all of the litters of puppies that he's churning out.
Check out this article on this same guy, with a link to a video of what they found inside his kennel: (not for the weak hearted)

Notice how many kennels are in Narvon alone, let alone all of Lancaster county.
Gov. Rendell -- shut them all down!

This guy had 250 breeding dogs. Do the math, to guess how many puppies he has at any one time. There is no way he can properly care for the dogs, nor does he even try to. He has been cited many times. There are hundred of kennels in Lancaster County all with these same K5 licenses and all with equally deplorable conditions. We need to write our legislators and Mary Bender, Director, Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement. Tell them that dog breeding is not farming!

These dogs were covered in sores, tumors, mange, eye and ear infections, starved, dehydrated, filthy and matted. They have suffered like this for years.
