What your Shiba's portrait keeps

  1. The fox face.
    Small triangle eyes, a neat muzzle and pointed ears.
  2. The urajiro.
    The cream markings on the cheeks, throat and chest.
  3. Their color.
    Red, sesame, black and tan or cream, as your Shiba really is.
  4. The attitude.
    The calm, slightly unimpressed look every Shiba owner knows.

The First Snow. A knit scarf and the garden's first snowfall. Shibas look perfect against winter white.

Photo tips for Shibas

  1. Patience.
    Shibas pose when they decide to. Keep the camera ready and wait for them.
  2. Daylight.
    Daylight shows the cream urajiro next to the red coat. Lamps blur the line.
  3. Treat over the lens.
    A treat just above the phone gets their eyes on the camera.
  4. Front view.
    Shoot from the front so the cheek markings show on both sides.

How it works

  1. Upload a photo.
    One clear photo of your dog or cat. Phone photos are perfect.
  2. Pick a scene.
    Royal, heroic, funny or seasonal: the studio shows every one.
  3. See it free.
    Your preview is ready in about a minute. Check every detail of their face.
  4. Choose how it lives.
    Digital, a framed print, a canvas or a keepsake. Nothing prints until you approve it.

Questions

Will it keep my Shiba's markings?

Yes. The urajiro on the cheeks and chest follows your photo, with the real coat color around it.

Does it work for Akitas too?

Yes. Akitas, Shikoku and other spitz breeds work the same way from one clear photo.

What if my Shiba won't sit still?

Any clear photo of their face works, even a quick one. The studio doesn't need a posed shot.

Is it a painting?

No. Your Shiba Inu'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.
