The likeness

The easy thing to make is a dog of the same breed. That is not what this is.

The finished piece

Every piece is developed from your photographs of your animal — the set of the eyes, the length of the muzzle, the way one ear never quite stood up. Those particulars are the whole point. A generic breed model gets none of them right, and you would notice every time you looked at it.

The process

How it works

  1. You send photos.

    A guided upload walks you through a few specific angles. It takes about ten minutes.

  2. We build the model.

    A digital sculpt is developed from your photos and refined by hand until it reads as your animal, not an animal like them.

  3. You approve it.

    We send you renders from several angles. Nothing gets printed until you say yes.

  4. We print, finish, and paint it.

    By hand, over days, then shipped to you insured.

12″ bust

$800

$100 deposit to start. The rest is due only after you’ve seen and approved the model.


Most people find us soon after a loss. We know that, and we won’t hurry your piece because of it — a rushed sculpture is a bad sculpture, and this one has to be right. Two to three weeks, start to doorstep. It will be worth the wait.
