Yorkshire terrier memorial gifts
A yorkie is mostly hair. The coat is fine and silky and closer to human hair than fur, and half the time it is tied up out of the eyes or falling forward over the face. What makes a yorkie recognisable in a portrait is the face under the hair — so the photo has to show it, not hide it.
Everything here is made from a photo you already have, in Chengdu, one at a time. Nothing is posted to us.

What suits a yorkie
| For this animal | What it means for the piece |
|---|---|
| Size and weight | A yorkie runs 4–7 lb (1.8–3.2 kg), so it sits in the S tag — 2.5cm, 6g. The L is too big for the collar and looks heavy on a dog this small. |
| The coat | Long, fine, and low-shedding — closer to hair than fur, so a fur keepsake is a pinch you collect from brushing rather than a handful off the floor. The fall often covers the eyes; the portrait needs the face clear. |
| The photo | Move the hair. A yorkie photographed with the fall over the eyes is just a blur of tan. Clip it back, or brush it aside, and the face appears. |

Two waiting times, and we do not average them: pieces made from scratch take about 15 days to make and then 10–14 days tracked — roughly four weeks door to door. Ready-made pieces arrive in 8–12 days.
Before you order: the photo
- Show the face. Lift or clip the topknot aside for the photo. The hair is the yorkie, but the face is the portrait.
- Level, not above. Small and close to the floor; a photo from standing height loses them.
- Eyes open, ears up. The ears are small and often pinned — if they were up in life, show them up.
- Say the colour. “Steel blue and tan” or “gold” — one line tells the designer which direction the coat leans.
If the only photo you have is an old one from years ago, that is still the right photo to start with. Send it before you order and we will tell you what it can and cannot hold — that conversation is free, and it is the point at which a portrait can still change.
