A Yorkie Portrait for Your Little Boss
Yorkshire Terriers are small dogs with absolutely no idea they’re small. That bossy confidence, the perky V-shaped ears and the bright, dark eyes are what a good Yorkie portrait needs to catch, and they all come straight from your photo.
Whether your Yorkie wears a floor-length silky show coat, a short puppy cut or a jaunty top knot with a bow, we keep the look you know. Steel blue and tan, the darker black and tan of a younger dog, gold, or a parti Yorkie with white patches: the coloring in your picture is the coloring in your custom Yorkie art.

Photo Tips for Small, Silky Dogs
The biggest mistake with toy breeds is shooting from standing height. Try these instead:
- Get on their level. Sit on the floor or put your Yorkie on a sofa so your phone is at eye height. Shots from above make them look like a fuzzy dot.
- Clear the eyes. Tie up the top knot or trim the fringe so both eyes are visible. Hair over the eyes hides the expression the portrait depends on.
- Bow on, if it’s their thing. A top-knot bow shows up in the portrait if it’s in the photo, so pick their signature one.
- Soft window light for the coat. Silky hair shines and can flare in harsh light. Diffused daylight shows the steel blue and tan clearly.
- Ears up. Yorkie ears stand tall when they’re curious. A quiet squeak or their name usually does it.
- Use a plain-ish background. A busy patterned blanket can blend into a long coat.
Choosing a Style for Your Yorkie
Sparkle is the obvious match for a pampered Yorkie. The polished, semi-realistic finish loves a glossy coat and a top-knot bow, and the dreamy blue sparkle background feels just a little bit glamorous.
Watercolor Blue brings out the steel blue in a mature Yorkie’s coat and keeps the tan warm by contrast. It’s soft, elegant and easy to hang in any room, which also makes it a lovely choice for a Yorkie memorial portrait.
Vector Look turns your terrier into a bold, cartoon-style character on a clean white background. It’s a fun pick for puppy-cut Yorkies with a mischievous streak, and it reads clearly even on smaller sizes.
Yorkie Portrait FAQ
Yes, if it’s in your photo. The portrait is created from the picture you upload, so accessories like a top-knot bow or a favorite collar usually carry through. If you’d prefer a natural look, choose a photo without the bow. The free preview lets you compare both in a couple of minutes.
Use the haircut you want to remember. A long show coat looks elegant in watercolor or Sparkle, while a short puppy cut shows off the face and works great in Vector Look or Pop. Many owners make one of each, since previews are free and only take about 30 seconds.
No. The portrait is scaled to fill the print, not shown at life size, so a Yorkie face can look striking even at 24″×24″. What matters is the photo: the clearer and closer it is, the better it holds up at bigger sizes. A close-up phone photo in good light is usually plenty.
Yes. Parti Yorkies with white patches, golden Yorkies and Biewer-type coloring all work, because the colors come from your photo. Daylight gives the most accurate color. Indoor lamps can turn a white patch yellow or make blue look gray, so a spot near a window is ideal.
Yes. A high-resolution digital file is $29, perfect if you want to print it yourself or use it as a phone wallpaper. If you’d rather have it ready to hang, framed prints come in Pecan, White Oak or Matte Black solid wood, and canvases start at $89. Both ship free in the US.
