Will the illustrations match my dog's breed and markings?

That's the intention. We work from your reference photos rather than a breed library, so unusual coats, odd ears and one-off markings come through. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if it isn't right, email us before you approve and we won't print.

Can I include more than one dog?

Not yet — each book stars one pet.

My dog is a rescue and I don't know his history. Does that matter?

Not at all. The words are already written; we only need their name and a few photos to paint their likeness.

Is this suitable for a dog who is gone?

Yes — choose “No, they've gone” when you start and you get our memorial book instead of the living one.

Getting the likeness right

Likeness is the thing people care about most, and it comes down almost entirely to the photos you upload — their markings, proportions and face.

One clear, straight-on face shot in daylight.
One full-body side profile for proportions and tail carriage.
One photo that shows coat colour honestly — no flash, no filter.
One photo of them mid-something: zoomies, digging, sulking.

Long-coated breeds, merle patterns, split faces and mismatched eyes all reproduce well. Very dark dogs are the hardest to render, so an outdoor photo in soft light helps enormously.
