A Three-Dog Family Portrait, Turned Into a Custom Rug
Walter, Sanibel, and Lorelei were a close-knit dachshund family with three unmistakable personalities. Their custom dachshund rug was designed from a favorite group photo, preserving their familiar accessories, expressions, and the way they appeared together as a three-dog family.
This story follows how one favorite photo became a soft, custom-shaped rug made to keep their shared family moment close at home.

The Group Portrait Behind the Custom Dachshund Rug
The family chose a favorite photo that captured Sanibel, Walter, and Lorelei sitting together in matching accessories: Sanibel’s citrus bandana, Walter’s cap and bow tie, and Lorelei’s plaid scarf.
Rather than separating them into three individual portraits, we kept their close arrangement so the final custom dog portrait rug would reflect how they appeared together in everyday life.

Turning Three Dachshunds Into One Custom Dog Portrait Rug
For this multi-pet custom rug, the goal was to keep the three dogs connected as one family portrait. We simplified the background and enlarged the dogs so their faces, coats, and accessories would remain clear at rug scale.
A custom contour replaced a standard rectangle, reducing empty space and keeping the focus on Walter, Sanibel, and Lorelei together.


The Finished Three-Dog Custom Rug
The finished rug preserves the three dogs’ distinct coats, expressions, and recognizable accessories in one shared composition.
Its smooth custom outline keeps the piece practical for everyday use while making it feel more personal than a standard rectangular pet rug.

A Rug Shared While the Three Were Still Together
The rug was designed, produced, and shared with Walter, Sanibel, and Lorelei while the three were still together. Their unboxing video showed all three dogs gathered around the finished rug in the home they shared.
The rug was not originally designed as a memorial piece. It was made as a celebration of their everyday life as a three-dog family, and it now holds that moment in a form the family can continue to see, use, and keep close at home.


A Custom Dachshund Rug Made With Care
After receiving the rug, their family shared the following review:
“I love my rug with A Print Nest! It is so soft and has such bright vibrant colors! I now have a beautiful rug of my dogs. Definitely recommend!”
Her feedback reflects the priorities behind the design: preserving recognizable likenesses, using vivid but balanced color, and creating a rug that feels comfortable as part of everyday life.
