About Jeremy
I hope you are enjoying my web site!
I am a photographer and software engineer, and it's entirely my wife's fault that I entered the field of canine photography. Several years ago she began running one of our dogs in hunt tests, and I went along to cheer her on and take photographs of them. Other handlers would ask me to take images of their dogs. One thing led to another, and here you are visiting my web site!
Because my wife and I handle dogs in obedience, hunt tests, agility and conformation, I have a strong appreciation of the work and dedication that goes onto performance training and competition. I try to capture the focus and natural ability of the dogs as they work in their particular field of endeavour. My wife and I are co-owners of Chantico IWS, dedicated to breeding healthy, well-tempered Irish Water Spaniels for conformation and performance. We currently have three Irish Water Spaniels: Reef (Can BOSS Am/Can GCh Chantico's Shelter From The Storm CD RA MX AJX MXP4 MXPB MJP4 MJPB PAX XF MFP DS), Ghillie (CH Chantico's Super G O'Muddy Waters RN MX MXB MXJ MJB XF T2B WC), and Arrow (Chantico's A Pint And A Slice). We are also committed to supporting our breed at the national level, with both of us having served leadership roles within the Irish Water Spaniel Club of America.
In addition to dogs, I also have a strong personal interest in wildlife and landscape photography. You can visit galleries of my nature work elsewhere on this web site. |
