Sheltie Gifts
A Sheltie gift is really a portrait of a coat with a dog inside it. The mane around the neck is most of the silhouette, so shoot her in profile or three quarters where it stands clear rather than head on where it flattens. The portrait keeps the sable and white as it falls on your own dog, and the first proof is ready within 24 hours.
Small, sensitive and extremely talkative, with a firm opinion about every car that passes the house. Shelties attach closely to their people and read a room faster than most breeds manage. That soft, slightly anxious intelligence is what a good portrait of one has to catch.

Frequently asked questions about Shetland Sheepdog portraits
Is a Sheltie just a small Rough Collie?
No, though it is an easy mistake. The Shetland Sheepdog is its own island breed that converged on a similar look. The head is finer and the whole dog is smaller, and a portrait built from your photo keeps those proportions rather than scaling down a collie.
How do I photograph the mane so it actually shows?
From the side or at three quarters, with light coming across her rather than straight at her. The frill around the neck is the outline of the breed, and a front-on shot presses it flat against the chest.
My Sheltie is blue merle rather than sable. Does that change anything?
Only the colours, which come from your photo. Merle is mottled grey and black and needs even light to stay separable; in hard sun the patches merge into one dark area.
Can I send it straight to the recipient?
Yes. The digital file can go directly to their email with a message from you, or a print can ship to their address. Standard shipping is free, 7 to 10 business days after proof approval.
