Labrador Christmas cards, starring yours.

Every card on this page shows Biscuit, a yellow Labrador we created from real photos. Yours takes his place: add 3 or 4 photos of your Lab and we create their picture in a Christmas outfit, on whichever design you like. You see it on the card before you pay.

From £6.99 a card, printed and posted for you with UK delivery included.

You see your pet on your card before you pay, and a new picture is free if it's not quite right.

Getting a Labrador right

  • Yellow, black, chocolate or fox red

    The coat colour comes from your photos, not a stock Labrador, so a pale cream Lab stays pale and a fox red one keeps its depth. Grey muzzles on older dogs stay too.

  • That Labrador face

    The broad head, soft ears and the hopeful look at anyone holding food. Sending a photo from the front and one from the side gets the shape of the head right.

  • Big enough for the outfit

    Labs suit the fuller outfits: a reindeer jumper, a Santa coat or antlers. On the fun designs, a greeting such as Merry Woofmas sits well beside them.

Photos that work best

Add 3 or 4 clear photos of your Labrador. Two is the minimum.

  • Black Labs in daylightSoft daylight by a window shows the shape of a black Lab's face. Flash flattens it to a silhouette.
  • Catch them stillLabradors rarely pose. Photos from different days are fine, including one of them lying down after a walk.
  • Eyes and nose sharpTap their face on your phone screen before taking the photo. A sharp nose and eyes matter more than the background.

Questions

Can you do a black Labrador?

Yes. Black Labs come out best from photos taken in soft daylight without flash, so we can see the shape of their face and eyes. We create the picture from your photos, so the coat, eyes and any grey on the muzzle are theirs.

We have two Labradors. Can both go on the card?

Some designs hold up to four pets, such as The Line-Up. For the others, one picture goes on the front. You can also make a card for each dog and post both to everyone on your list.

How long does it take?

You see your pet's picture on your card before you pay, and as soon as you've paid, we print your cards and post them within 2 working days. In the UK they go Royal Mail 2nd class, included in the price, and usually arrive 2 to 3 days after they're posted. Zoomies delivery (Royal Mail 1st class) is usually a day sooner, for £1.99 more a card posted for you, or once for a parcel sent to you.

What if the picture doesn't look like my pet?

You see your pet on your card before you pay, and a new picture is free if it's not quite right, so you only pay once you're happy with it.
