A Great Pyrenees puppy poses for the camera.\u003cbr/\u003eThis is Marcia Leeder, one of Toronto's most popular pet photographers.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen she hears about a litter of newborn puppies, she's there in a heartbeat.\u003cbr/\u003eLeeder is creating a puppy calendar, and she's travelled to Brantford, Ontario, an hour from Toronto, to snap photos of this fluffy litter. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The puppy stage is such a short time,\" says Leeder. \"They grow so fast, and these dogs get really big. So it's amazing just to be able to look back at how tiny they were.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLeeder's photos will be timeless mementos for breeder Sandy Dyment. \u003cbr/\u003eShe has bred Great Pyrenees pups for 18 years and plans to post the photos on her Web site to let friends and people around the world know about the latest litter. \u003cbr/\u003eAll six of these puppies will soon be off to loving homes. But before they settle in with new families, it's a chance for Leeder to take some unforgettable shots.\u003cbr/\u003eEven for dedicated, hardworking photographers like Leeder the puppies are irresistible. In fact, she claims playing with puppies is the best part of her job. \u003cbr/\u003eFor hundreds of years, Great Pyrenees were bred to guard sheep and fortresses in the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. \u003cbr/\u003eThe puppies start out small, but they'll eventually grow to up to 115lbs with a thick, white fur coat and gentle nature.\u003cbr/\u003eTheir breeder, Sandy Dyment, is looking forward to seeing how the photos turn out. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The photographer seems to have a really keen way with the puppies. I could tell that in her interaction,\" says Dyment. \"So I really feel that she's going to get some really nice shots, the essence of the Great Pyrenees.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBack in Toronto, Danielle and Billy Monk have hired Leeder to snap photos with them with their two-and-half-year-old Burmese Mountain Dog, Seymore. \u003cbr/\u003eEven the rain doesn't deter Leeder or interrupt the hour-long photo session. \u003cbr/\u003eAs many as 30 percent of Canadian households own a dog and spend USD $770 a year on their pets, according to Statistics Canada. \u003cbr/\u003eThere are more than 30 professional pet photographers advertise their services on the Internet in Toronto. \u003cbr/\u003eLeeder charges around USD $300 for private commissions and has been contracted to photograph animals across Canada. She also shoots photos for a number of popular dog magazines. \u003cbr/\u003eHer love of animals and her desire to give people the finest quality photos of their pets is what motivates her most of all. \u003cbr/\u003eMany of her clients are attracted to her style of shooting, which she calls organic and entertaining. In her spare time, Leeder volunteers to take photos of dogs, cats and rabbits at animal shelters, helping them find homes. \u003cbr/\u003eBurmese Mountain dogs are best known for their easy-going personalities and trademark black, white and rust-coloured coats. \u003cbr/\u003eWith an average lifespan of just seven years, loving owners like Danielle and Billy like to immortalise their time with their pets in photos. \u003cbr/\u003eThey found Leeder's Web site and didn't hesitate to hire her at an important time in their lives. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We are just recently expecting,\" says Danielle. \"Four months pregnant, and we really wanted to capture the real start of our family before the baby comes. Seymore is not going to be number one anymore, so we want to document this part of our life as the real start of our family.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAt a studio in downtown Toronto, professional pet photographer, Jason Kryger-Baum, and his partner, Angus McAuslan, are setting up for a busy shoot. \u003cbr/\u003eRob Davidson has hired Kryger-Baum to take photos of his two-and-half year old poodle, Tristan. \u003cbr/\u003eDavidson has a specific request - a snap of his dog leaping into the air.\u003cbr/\u003eThe photo session gets off to a good start. Tristan is a cooperative and enthusiastic participant, and Davidson has no problem getting him to jump. \u003cbr/\u003eThe results are dynamic.\u003cbr/\u003eKryger-Baum's next model, a nervous grey cat, is a bit more challenging to work with. \u003cbr/\u003eThe photographer tries using his harmonica and various other musical instruments and toys to get the cat's attention. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the end, the only thing that works, perhaps unsurprisingly, is a healthy dose of fragrant catnip.\u003cbr/\u003eKryger-Baum has a degree in animal behaviour, and he says his knowledge is sometimes helpful in getting pets to perform in front of the camera. \u003cbr/\u003eHis photos are inspired by high-end, chic fashion shoots and his intention is to create distinct works of art at a time when virtually every pet owner can easily snap photos of their animals on their own. \u003cbr/\u003eHe's been hired to photograph all kinds of dogs, cats, not to mention birds, gerbils, snakes, and even horses. His portrait sessions start from USD $150, and print pieces begin at USD $50 for gift prints. \u003cbr/\u003eMany of his clients spend between USD $1200 - 1600 for custom fine art photos of their pets. \u003cbr/\u003eKryger-Baum's last model of the day is a two-and-a-half year old ball python named Stanley. \u003cbr/\u003eThe snake will likely live another 15 to 18 years and grow another meter in length. \u003cbr/\u003eLike the other animals, Stanley isn't easy to pose. But when he's lined up just right, the end results are striking. \u003cbr/\u003ekeyword wacky animals\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
