Custom Border Collie Portrait Made From Your Photo

Border Collies have an intensity in their gaze that is almost unnerving - the legendary 'herding eye,' focused and bright, often in striking blue or amber, sometimes both at once. Their medium-length coat comes in black and white, red and white, or merle patterns, and their athletic, lean build radiates barely-contained energy.

What does a custom Border Collie portrait include?

A custom Border Collie portrait from Pet on Canvas is made from your photo and starts at $24.99 (under $30) for a high-resolution digital portrait; gallery-wrapped Custom Canvases start at $49.99 and include the digital file.

What makes Border Collie portraits special?

A Border Collie portrait is intense and intelligent: a medium head, alert ears that often sit one up and one tipped, and the famous focused, almost hypnotic stare. That working concentration is the expression to capture.

The coat may be rough or smooth, usually with a white collar, blaze, and points over black, red, or merle. The classic black-and-white is the icon of the breed. A photo that catches the signature intent gaze gives the portrait its character, and daylight keeps the black rich.

Frequently Asked Questions About Border Collie Portraits

How do you capture a Border Collie's intense, intelligent gaze?

The eye is everything with Border Collies. Our artists focus on rendering that remarkable intensity - the specific shape of the eye, the color (often startlingly blue), and the focused, alert quality that makes a Border Collie look like they're thinking three steps ahead of you.

Can you paint a Border Collie's merle coat accurately?

Merle coats are complex and beautiful. We study the specific pattern of your dog - the marbled gray and black, the white and copper accents - and render it as the individual map it is. Blue merle and red merle each require different color mixing and technique.
