How it works for your Collie

Upload 1–5 photos of your Collie — clear face shots work best.

We map their identity: exact coat colors, markings, ear set and eye color.

Your chosen styles are painted and likeness-checked against the photos, then delivered in hours.

Collie portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Collie?

We treat likeness as the whole job. Before painting, we record what makes your Collie specific — coat texture, sable and white, tricolor, blue merle markings, head shape — and afterwards every take is scored against your photo. Anything that reads as "some Collie" instead of yours gets painted again before you see it.

My Collie has unusual markings — can you keep them?

They stay. A face this noble already looks ready to save the day, no cape necessary but certainly welcome. Because the passport is written before any painting happens, asymmetric markings survive the stylisation instead of being tidied away into a "typical" Collie.

Which photos work best for a Collie portrait?

The best Collie photo is unglamorous: natural light, camera at their height, nothing covering the face. Long and layered coats look best when light comes from the side. Two or three photos from slightly different angles beat one perfect portrait.

Which styles suit a Collie best?

All twelve styles are open to every dog, but the three shown above suit a Collie particularly well: a large herding that reads as gentle, loyal carries those scenes without looking costumed.

How fast will I get my Collie 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.
