THE OWNER HANDLER

DR. KATE BREMSER

I have been involved in English Springer Spaniels from a young age. I grew up in the Midwest with hunting com- panions, then branched out into dog sports with my first dog as an adult. “Basil” competed heavily in Flyball and still remains the No. 1 Springer in the sport, despite being deceased since 2012. I maintained a small breeding program and began competing in Conformation in 2011. Since then, I have finished four dogs of my own and several more that I co-own. My current special, “Firefly,” has taken me on a wild ride, including two trips to the ESSFTA Top 20, winning the Owner-Handled portion of the event in 2022, winning Best of Opposite Sex at Westminster 2022, and finishing 2022 as the No. 1 NOHS Bitch and No. 2 Springer overall. I am also a veterinarian, focusing on small animal soft tissue surgery and preventative medicine. I graduated from NC State in 2008 and continue to live in Central North Carolina with my four dogs and two horses.
