GUARD DOG ON DUTY
The watch runs around the clock. A plastic bag moves in the wind across the street: alarm. Someone rings a doorbell on television: alarm. The neighbour four floors down unlocks their front door: definitely alarm. Guard dog on duty is the print for everyone living with a dog that takes the assignment extremely seriously.
We make an illustration of your own dog and sign the print with the name down in the corner. We choose a background colour that flatters the coat, but if you have a particular shade in mind, add it in the message box at checkout, or tell us when you get your preview.

About this product
A funny print with your own guard dog
It makes no difference how big the dog is. Five kilos of fluff can keep an entire stairwell under surveillance and bark at every bicycle that passes the window. The post arrives, and it sounds as though the house is being stormed. Someone rings a doorbell on television, and duty resumes immediately. The print is almost at its best with a dog that looks nothing like a guard dog. A little griffon, a pomeranian or a dachshund is perfect. A chihuahua? Well, those really are guard dogs. Spot on.
And the actual burglar? They would have been warmly welcomed, shown to the treat cupboard and licked on the face. But nobody needs to know that, because on paper the dog is on duty around the clock.
Guard dog on duty is one of our personalised pet prints with a picture, where your dog gets its title in black and white and its name signed in the corner.
Your dog, hand-drawn digitally in Modern style
The illustration is made in our Modern style, with soft shapes and a focus on the eyes and the coat. We work from your own photo and create the print digitally, by hand, with no AI at all. Every pet print we make is drawn by an illustrator, never by an algorithm.
How to make the print yours
- Your dog: Upload a photo and we illustrate your dog into the design.
- The name: The name is written in a handwritten style down in the corner, like a signature on work completed.
- The background colour: We choose a colour that flatters the coat. Have a shade that matches your wall, your wallpaper or the rest of the room? Add it in the message box at checkout, or ask us to change it when you get your preview.
The print comes in portrait format and three sizes: 20×25, 30×45 and 40×60 cm, and you choose whether you want it as a poster or as a ready-framed print, ready to hang.
You always get a preview
Before we print anything, you get a preview to approve. Want to adjust the expression, the colour or a small detail in the illustration? No problem. We make free revisions until the print feels exactly right.
It belongs by the front door
The hallway is the obvious spot, right next to the door that is guarded so carefully. Guests meet the print before they have taken their shoes off, at roughly the same moment they meet the security team in person. It works just as well in the living room or the home office, of course.
A gift for the dog owner who never gets a lie-in
Looking for a present for someone whose dog raises the alarm about everything except actual threats? This is a gift that feels personal and gets a laugh of recognition. Perfect for a birthday, a housewarming or Christmas. Funny typography prints are rarely as spot-on as when they carry the right name and the right nose.
Order your personalised print today and give your guard dog the credentials it already believes it has.
