Spitfire the Lurcher























Location: Rye Lee Farm
Spitfire age 9 months

The lurcher has as many varied uses as types can be crossbred, but generally they are used as hunting dogs that can chase and kill their prey. Most lurchers today are used for general pest control, typically rabbits, hares, and foxes, although some of the larger types have been successfully used on bigger game like wild boar and deer. Lurchers can be used for hare coursing, although most hare coursing dogs are Greyhounds. Lurchers move most effectively over open ground, although different crosses suit different terrains.

My name is Earl




Location: Crooks Hollow, Dundas
Earl - Yorkshire Terrier

The ideal Yorkshire Terrier character or "personality" is described with a "carriage very upright" and "conveying an important air".Though small, the Yorkshire Terrier is intelligent and active, and should not show the soft temperament seen in lapdogs.

Jack Russell Terrier

Jack Russells tend to be extremely intelligent, athletic, fearless, and vocal dogs. It is not uncommon for these dogs to become moody or destructive if they are not properly stimulated and exercised as they have a tendency to bore easily and will often create their own fun when left alone to entertain themselves.

Trakehners are athletic and trainable, with good endurance, while some are more spirited than horses of other warmblood breeds. Trakehners breed true to type, due to the purity of the bloodlines, making it valuable for upgrading other warmbloods.

Welcome to Nicole Carter Photography

I have been fascinated by photography ever since I was in highschool but I never took the time to learn until about 6 years ago when my husband bought me my first SLR camera (film).  Since then I have switched to a digital SLR.  In September 2009 I went back to school to become a Registered Massage Therapist.  Part of the reason I chose to become an RMT was for the flexibility.  Being an RMT will allow me to make my own hours and to travel.  Both of these things allow me to pursue my passion of photography.


I have also been working towards both my Applied and Arts Photography Certificates part time at Mohawk College.  The official launch of "Nicole Carter Photography" happened in the Summer of 2011 with our Family photo shoot marathon.  It was a great success.  Since then I have been consistently busy and I am currently booking weddings for the 2012 season.
