Sorry buddy. I don't know anybody in that area at all.  Here's what I would 
suggest though:

First see if there are other Pyr breeders near you that have a favorite 
photographer.
If not, then see about poodle or samoyed breeders and ask them.

By now you're probably wondering if I'm nuts because of the poodle 
reference, but there's a reason behind my madness.  Anybody can take a 
picture of a dog, big or small.  The trick here is the white hair.  In your 
eyes, your Pyrs will look great in the sunlight, but on film or digital, 
they have a tendency to overexpose and come out all blown out.  If you have 
a digital camera with some advanced settings, you can play with exposure 
compensation until you get it right, but if you're using film, it'll cost 
you a bit.

The best way to do it with film cameras is write down the settings you use 
and then bracket in half stops.  Use slide film because you'll get exact 
results that you can use again at a later date.  Print film has too many 
variables, such as compensation from the film labs when they print.

Hope this helps,

Gerry
