What your Maltese's portrait keeps

  1. The white coat.
    Bright, clean white with real texture, not a flat blur.
  2. The button eyes.
    Dark eyes and a black nose that pop against the white.
  3. Their haircut.
    Long and flowing or a short puppy cut, as your dog wears it.
  4. The tiny size.
    Dainty proportions that stay small and sweet.

Photo tips for Maltese

  1. Clean the face.
    A gentle wipe under the eyes keeps tear stains out of the photo.
  2. Soft light.
    Bright sun turns white fur into one flat shape. Use shade or a window.
  3. Darker background.
    A darker sofa or rug behind them helps the white coat show its texture.
  4. Get close.
    Fill the frame with their face so the eyes and nose are sharp.

Questions

Will a white Maltese look washed out?

No. A softly lit photo gives the portrait real texture in the coat. Avoid bright sun and flash.

Does it work for Shih Tzus, Havanese and Bichons?

Yes. Small, fluffy breeds all work the same way from one clear photo.

Can it keep my Maltese's bow or topknot?

Usually, yes. Many scenes keep a bow or topknot from your photo. You check the free preview before you pay.

Is it a painting?

No. Your Maltese's portrait is made with AI image tools from your own photo, then checked for likeness before you approve it. It's printed on fine-art paper or canvas, or delivered as a high-resolution digital file.

Do I have to pay to see it?

No. Your preview is free and ready in about a minute. You only pay if you love it and choose a product.

How much is shipping and how long does it take?

Each piece is made to order (2–10 business days), then shipped (3–7 business days). US shipping is $9.95, free on orders of $75 or more.
