Can you crop the photo?

Feb 4th, 2009 | Posted in FAQs, Print FAQs by Kris

Yes! In fact, I automatically crop most photos as closely as I can to the dog. After all, that’s what you’re paying to see, right?

If you do not want the image cropped, please let me know when you order. You can place any special instructions in the “Comments” field during checkout, in the instructions box on the printed order form, or send them to me via email.

The 8×10s are available with the option of adding a special show border. These borders can include your dog’s name – both call name and registered name — and titles, as well as the name, location, date and class from the event. Additional information can be added upon request.

You can see examples of the borders in the show border gallery.
