Scottish Deerhound portrait questions

Will the portrait really look like my Scottish Deerhound?

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

My Scottish Deerhound has unusual markings — can you keep them?

They stay. A hound once reserved for nobles alone belongs in a robe of true Renaissance grandeur. Because the passport is written before any painting happens, asymmetric markings survive the stylisation instead of being tidied away into a "typical" Scottish Deerhound.

Which photos work best for a Scottish Deerhound portrait?

The best Scottish Deerhound 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 Scottish Deerhound best?

All twelve styles are open to every dog, but the three shown above suit a Scottish Deerhound particularly well: a giant hound that reads as dignified, gentle carries those scenes without looking costumed.
