A gift for border collie owners
Collie owners know their dog is the cleverest one in the park. We print their own collie from your photo, so it's their markings, their eyes and that intense look, rather than a generic sheepdog.
It's a great gift for a collie lover, a farmer or handler with a working dog, or a new puppy family.
Which print suits a collie?
The strong contrast of a black and white collie looks bold as a sculpted relief or in the Greyscale palette. Red and blue merles look lovely in auto-matched colour, which picks up every shade. A lithophane gives a dramatic glowing portrait with their eyes front and centre.
A photo where they're looking at the camera, alert and focused, captures a collie best.
Ideas for collie lovers
Choosing the photo
- Catch them alert and looking at the camera.
- Fill the frame with the face and ears.
- Soft, even light shows the white parts without glare.

Questions
- Will black and white markings print well?
- Yes, they're one of the best. Strong contrast gives a bold sculpted relief and a crisp Greyscale painting, and the lithophane shows their face in striking light and shade.
- Will it work for a merle collie?
- Yes. Auto-matched colour picks up the greys, blues and reds of a merle coat. Try it alongside Greyscale in the studio and compare.
- Does the lithophane come with a light?
- You can add our LED light stand at checkout, from £8. It holds the panel upright and lights it from behind with a warm white or colour-changing USB light, and it's printed in the colour you choose. Without the stand, a lamp behind the panel works well too.
- How long does delivery take?
- We print every order in our Manchester workshop and post it within 5 working days. Tracked delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after that, and it's free on orders over £30.
