Do you do miniature dachshunds as well as standards?

Yes. The art is built from your actual photo, so your dachshund's real proportions carry through — a mini comes back a mini rather than a shrunken standard. Same for red, cream, black and tan, chocolate, dapple, piebald and brindle.

Will a smooth, longhaired, or wirehaired coat come through?

Yes, because we work from your photo rather than a breed template. The wirehaired beard and eyebrows, and the ear and tail feathering on a longhaired dachshund, are the details owners check first — so send the sharpest photo you have and pick a style above that suits the coat.

Every photo I have is taken from above. Is that a problem?

No. Send the best one you have and you will see the finished art free before you pay anything, so nothing is a gamble. If you can take one new photo from the side at floor level, that is usually the one that becomes the portrait.

Custom Dachshund Portraits From Your Photo

A dachshund is built along one axis and photographed along another. Standing over them with a phone, the long back curves away into nothing and the legs disappear altogether — which is how you end up with four hundred photos and not one that shows the shape you can recognize from across a park.

A custom portrait starts with the photo you already love and turns it into art made only for you. Upload it, pick a style, and see your finished art free — before you pay anything. What you see is exactly what we print.

Styles dachshunds shine in

Line Art

One continuous outline — the only style that treats that long back as the whole point.

Watercolor

Soft washes that keep longhaired feathering and a wirehaired beard from turning to mush.

Bold & Colorful

Big color for the smallest dog in the house with the largest opinion in it.

Mugshot

WANTED: for excavating the flower bed down to the clay. You pick the offense.

The photo that works best

Shoot from the side, down at their level. The dachshund silhouette is the breed, and it only exists from the side — from above they read as a curve.
Kneel or lie down. A photo taken standing up shortens the back and hides the legs completely.
For a longhaired or wirehaired dachshund, light from the side picks up the feathering and the beard; flat front light flattens both.
Phone photos are perfect; no professional shots needed.
If your dachshund has crossed the rainbow bridge, we work gently from the photos you have — you approve the art before anything is printed.
