From 9NEWS NOW and on WUSA9.COM:
HUNTINGTOWN, MD (WUSA)--Calvert County Fire officials say that some 50 firefighters fought a house fire and rescued more than 100 animals early Sunday morning.
Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jonathan Riffe says the one-story house on Neptune Lane sits on a large property that housed several hundred animals. Four dogs died in the fire but there were no other reported injuries.
Fire officials say the house is listed as a breeder of different kinds of dogs.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Terry Anthon woke up to flames inside his home in the 12-hundred block of Neptune Drive in Huntingtown in Calvert County.
His main concern was saving their precious dogs.
Terry Anthon says, "All I was thinking about was getting the dogs out of the house. I feel blessed, we could have not woken up and there would be no one to take care of the dogs."
Firefighters say four dogs died of smoke inhalation but they saved many more of them.
Fire Chief Jonathan Riffe says, "We made entry. We knocked down the fire in 5 minutes and rescued over 100 animals."
Jane Lawry-Walsh is a concerned neighbor and came over to the family to offer help. "I was concerned I didn't hear any dogs barking and I thought they were overcome by smoke."
The owners were seen shuffling the dogs into warm vehicles.
The majority of the dogs are chihuahuas. Animal control says they have some Rottweilers and Staffordshire Terriers.
Anthon says they breed, show and rescue dogs. He says the American Kennel Club inspected them last week and said, "They inspected us and it was fine. It's not that they endorse us or anything else, but they have standards that they require all individuals that breed and show and stuff like that to abide by and we passed with flying colors."
Anthon says, "We don't have 100 chihuahuas in our home. I had five in my bedroom."
Animal control says Calvert County requires a breeding and selling license if the dogs are sold for a profit. Authorities say while the owners did not produce a license, it's unclear if the owners are making a profit.
However, their business website Kimmar Kennels which lists the same home address on Neptune Drive, says it breeds and shows Staffordshire Terriers, these dogs are often mistaken for Pitbulls.
While the investigation continues the main concern, officials say, is the health of the dogs.
Animal Control Officer Jim Fisher says, "All the dogs are in good shape and they have palettes of food and it appears they are taken well care of." Fisher says officers have gone to the house in the past for well care checks and nothing was substantiated.
He also says they've been to the home for minor code violations of not having rabies documentation and licenses but say they've always been brought up to code.
Fisher says Calvert County has no limitation on the number of animals you can have as long as they are properly cared for.

Another article circulating is that there were 129 dogs; 125 now since 4 perished in the fire.
