Dogs do not sit still for portraits and they do not stay with us long enough. A custom pet portrait in crochet is a small, soft version of yours that keeps the floppy ear, the white patch on the chest and the particular shade of brown that no stock toy ever gets right.
- Crocheted from your photos - coat colour, markings, ear shape and build.
- About 18 to 22 cm, sized to suit the breed rather than a fixed pattern.
- Fluffy or smooth yarn chosen to match the coat your dog actually has.
- Collar colour and name tag can be added on request.
- Ships worldwide with tracking.
How to order a custom pet portrait
- Send three or four photos - face on, side on, and one of the whole dog standing. Different angles matter far more than resolution.
- Tell us the details. Breed, approximate size, coat length, eye colour, and anything distinctive such as a scar, a grey muzzle or odd-coloured ears.
- We crochet your dog over five to ten working days and send a photo before packing.
- It ships to you wrapped and tracked.
Memorial orders: a good share of these are made for dogs that have passed away. Send whatever photos you have, even old or blurred ones, and tell us what you remember about how they looked. We will tell you honestly what we can capture.

Care
Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap, squeeze the water out through a towel, reshape the ears and legs and air dry fully before putting it back on display. Our amigurumi care guide has the detail.
What we need from you
A good custom pet portrait starts with ordinary photographs, not studio ones. Three or four pictures taken on a phone in daylight tell us more about a coat than a single posed shot ever does.
Tell us the things a camera flattens: whether the fur is wiry or silky, how the ears sit when the dog is relaxed, which eye has the odd marking. Every custom pet portrait we have made that people call uncanny came from a customer who described their dog in that kind of detail.
Questions people ask
Can you make a custom pet portrait of a cat?
Yes - cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and birds have all been made here. Message us with photos and we will quote.
How close will the custom pet portrait look?
Close on colour, markings and shape. Yarn has limits with very fine facial detail, so we aim for the dog people recognise across a room rather than a scale model.
Can you make a smaller one?
Our custom tiny dog is the pocket-sized version.
Is it safe for children?
It is a keepsake rather than a baby toy. Tell us if a child will handle it and we will embroider the eyes instead of fitting safety eyes.
If you are curious about how these are made, our article on crochet pet portraits walks through the process.
