Custom Shih Tzu Portrait Made From Your Photo
Shih Tzus are gloriously fluffy dogs with chrysanthemum-like faces, pushed-in noses, and coats that flow like silk in any direction you point them. Their large, dark, widely-set eyes peer out from all that fur with a look of cheerful self-satisfaction.

What makes Shih Tzu portraits special?
A Shih Tzu portrait is built on the chrysanthemum face: large dark eyes, a short nose, and hair that grows up and out around the muzzle. Whether the dog is kept in a long coat or a short puppy cut, the head is the portrait.
The coat is the defining challenge, a long, dense, flowing double coat in many color combinations, often gathered in a topknot. The clip changes the silhouette entirely. A recent, clean photo that shows the current grooming gives the artist the right shape to work from.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shih Tzu Portraits
How do you paint a Shih Tzu's long, flowing coat?
Shih Tzu coats require careful attention to how the hair falls and flows around the body. Our artists capture the natural parting along the back, the way the coat frames the face, and the silky texture that catches light differently from thick or wavy coats.
Can you paint Shih Tzus with different grooming styles?
Yes - whether your Shih Tzu wears a full show coat, a puppy cut, or anything in between, we work from your photo to capture their current look. The puppy cut actually makes a great portrait subject because it lets those big eyes shine through more clearly.
