Chow Chow portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Chow Chow?

Every Chow Chow portrait starts with an identity passport built from your photos: the exact rough, dense or smooth coat, the red, black, blue colouring, the ear set and the eye colour. The finished painting is then compared back against your originals and repainted if it drifts, so what arrives is your Chow Chow rather than a generic one.

My Chow Chow has unusual markings — can you keep them?

They stay. With a mane like a lion's and a bloodline older than most nations, a crown feels less like decoration and more like a fact. Because the passport is written before any painting happens, asymmetric markings survive the stylisation instead of being tidied away into a "typical" Chow Chow.

Which photos work best for a Chow Chow portrait?

The best Chow Chow photo is unglamorous: natural light, camera at their height, nothing covering the face. Short coats photograph well in soft, even light. Two or three photos from slightly different angles beat one perfect portrait.

Which styles suit a Chow Chow best?

Any style works, though character matters. A Chow Chow tends to be dignified, independent, so the three recommended above tend to land best — the scene supports the dog rather than competing with them.

How fast will I get my Chow Chow portrait?

Digital portraits are usually finished the same day — often inside an hour. Prints only go to press once you have approved the take you want, and reach US addresses in roughly a week to a week and a half.
