K9 Collector Card Request

K9 Collector Card Request

Use this form to tell me about your K9 and share the photos and details that make them special. Your collector card will be custom designed to reflect your K9's personality, purpose, agency, and unique story.
No two K9s are alike. Their cards shouldn't be either.
Every Working K9 Has a Story Worth Celebrating
Individual K9 card designs are provided at no charge for working and service K9 teams.

Handlers are only responsible for their own printing costs.
Requesting cards for 4 or more K9s at one time?

Requests for 4 or more K9s submitted together by the same handler, agency, or unit are considered larger custom projects and may require a design fee.

Please contact us to discuss your needs and custom pricing.

Please upload your favorite clear photo showing your K9's face, chest, and shoulders. Photos taken at your dog's eye level work best!
🐾 Include their working vest, if possible. This helps me capture their personality and the important work they do.

Please try to avoid: Close-up headshots, photos taken from high above, blurry images, or pictures where your K9 is very far away.

❤️ Your photos don't need to be professional! The quality and positioning of your original photograph directly affect the finished design. Please choose a clear, well-lit photo that accurately represents your K9.
Do you have a specific photo you'd like featured on the FRONT of your card? 🐾
PHOTO #1 — Your Primary Photo

Upload your favorite clear, high-quality photo of your K9. If you selected “Yes” above, this should be the photo you'd like considered for the FRONT of your card.

If you selected “Yes” to preferred photo above, what would you like me to preserve?
PHOTO #2 — Another Favorite (Optional)

Have another favorite photo? Upload one additional clear, high-quality image here. Please choose the two photographs you'd most like me to consider for your collector card. If additional photos are needed during the design process, I'll be happy to request them!

📸 Photo Usage & Copyright
Please upload original photos taken by you, your agency/ organization, or another photographer who has given you permission to use them. If you're unsure whether a photo may be used, please choose another image or contact the photographer first.
The goal is ALWAYS to keep your K9 RECOGNIZABLE and true to themselves while turning your photo into something that feels made for their card.

May I share your finished K9 collector card in my design portfolio? 🐾
I love showcasing the amazing working K9s I've had the privilege of designing cards for. With your permission, your finished card may be featured on the K9 Collector Cards page of Estie’s Besties or shared as an example of my card designs.

🐾 How the Design Proof Process Works

Your first proof is your creative review!

When you receive your first card design, please take a good look at both the front and back. This is the time to request any reasonable changes to photos, wording, layout, colors, or overall design so we can make sure the card feels right for you and your K9.

Once those requested design changes are completed, you'll receive a final proof to review carefully for spelling, names, dates, agency/unit information, social media accounts, and other factual details before printing.

Once the final proof is provided, further changes will be limited to correcting spelling, factual information, or other errors.
