Will it actually look like my dog?
Will it actually look like my dog?
Yes, every set is designed from scratch using your photo, not a template. Our designers capture your dog's exact coat, markings, spots, patches, and any accessories they're wearing. If your dog has a bandana, a bow, or bunny ears on in the photo, it goes on the brick version too. No two sets are the same because no two dogs are the same. Customers are always shocked by the accuracy.
Can I see my dog before you build it?
Can I see my dog before you build it?
Yes, every Dog Mom Gift Set includes a free design preview sent to your email within 1-3 business days of ordering. You'll see exactly how your dog looks in bricks before we place a single piece. Don't love something? Tell us and we'll change it. Unlimited times, until it's perfect. Nothing gets built until you approve it.
How long does it take to arrive?
How long does it take to arrive?
From order to doorstep is approximately 21 days. Here's the breakdown: our designer starts within 24 hours → design preview sent in 1–3 business days → production begins after your approval and takes 2–3 days → shipping takes around 2 weeks. We send tracking immediately, and if it doesn't show info it just means it's still in production, the moment it ships you'll see the shipping info so you always know where it is.
Built for the dog who's been there the whole time
One photo. Any chapter. Still yours in bricks.
- Freeze the dog you grew up with, exactly as you remember them
- Give her a piece of the childhood dog she still talks about
- Celebrate the dog who's getting older, before you wish you had
- Honor the one who's already crossed the rainbow bridge
- Mark the day she got him, or the day everything changed
- Keep him close on a shelf, long after the photo stopped being enough
Thousands of photos on your phone. Zero of them are on a shelf.
Most pet owners have thousands of photos buried in their camera roll, images they scroll past every day because there are too many to feel special.
BrickPaws is different. Send one photo, even an old one, and we design your exact childhood dog in bricks: their coat, their ears, their markings, into a set you build with your own hands.
How It Works
-
1. Upload Their Photo
Upload one clear photo of your dog. The clearer the photo, the more detail we capture - every marking, every feature, exactly them.
-
2. We Render It. You Build It.
Our team takes your photo and designs your exact dog - their coat, their ears, their markings. Then we box it up and ship it to you, piece by piece, ready for you to build.
-
3. Open the Box. Build Your Pet.
Follow the instructions and build your dog brick by brick. It usually takes an evening. Somewhere in the build it starts looking exactly like them. That's the part nobody's ready for.
Not a gift you open. A memory you build back.
She's holding the same photo she's had since she was a kid. The one on the fridge. The one in the old photo album nobody opens anymore. And then it's not a photo anymore — it's him, brick by brick, sitting on the table in front of her.
Somewhere in the middle of building it, she stops talking. Then she says his name. Then she keeps building.
That's the part you don't get from a print or a plush. You get it from watching him come back, one piece at a time, in her hands.
Unmatched Accuracy, Down to the Last Detail
Our team renders every marking, patch, and gradient from your actual photo - brick by brick. No templates. No two dogs come out the same, because no two dogs are.
Faded photo, old scan, low resolution - doesn't matter. We work from what you have. That collar, that one crooked ear, that grey patch that showed up in his last few years - if it's in the photo, it's in the bricks.
One customer sent us a photo from 2003. Her mum knew which dog it was before she even said his name.
Not Just Another Toy
The Original BrickPaws is the one you build yourself. Not a print. Not a plush. Yours, brick by brick.

★★★★★
"I ugly-laughed when I saw the brick version of me wearing my signature red sunglasses. I've never felt more seen by a product in my life. My Boston terrier couldn't care less, she was asleep on the couch the entire time while I was losing my mind over how accurate this is. It lives on my coffee table now."
-
★★★★★
"I built this in one evening with my golden right next to me the whole time. He kept sniffing the pieces like he knew it was him. The instructions were so easy and the likeness is insane, you can see his floppy ears, his coloring, everything. This is permanently on my mantle."
-
★★★★★
"I put bunny ears on Bruno for Easter and then I saw the brick version had them too. I genuinely laughed out loud. The attention to detail is ridiculous, they even got his markings right. This thing sits on my bookshelf and makes me smile every single day."
-
★★★★★
"Ordered this for Buddy's 3rd birthday and the set arrived with the party hat detail already on it. I didn't even ask for that, they just nailed the whole vibe from my photo. He sat next to his brick twin like he was posing for it. Best birthday decision I've ever made."
-
★★★★★
"Oscar wears his bow tie for special occasions. I sent in that exact photo and they put the bow tie on the brick version too. I didn't think that level of detail was even possible. My whole kitchen counter is his domain now, the real one and the brick one, side by side."
-
★★★★★
"I was convinced it wouldn't capture how fluffy and expressive he actually is. I was wrong. The grey and white coloring, the ears, the face, it's him. Sitting by the fireplace with his brick twin. I've already ordered one for my sister."
Popular Questions
How do I order?
Choose your set, Just the Dog or The Dog Mom Gift Set, upload a clear photo of your dog, and place your order. If you ordered the Dog Mom Gift Set, we'll email your design preview within 1-3 business days for you to review and approve. Once you give us the green light, we build it, pack it, and ship it straight to your door. That's it.
I don't have a full-body photo. Can you still make the brick set?
Absolutely. A clear photo of your dog's face and upper body works perfectly. The clearer and better-lit the photo, the more detail we can capture, but our designers work with what you send and always make it look great. If you're unsure about your photo quality, upload it and we'll let you know.
Can I upload multiple photos?
Yes. Uploading 2–3 photos from different angles gives our designer the best reference to capture every marking and detail accurately. More reference photos always means a more accurate set. Just upload them all when you place your order.
If you can't upload them all at once, emails us at support@brickpaws.co
What if I don't love the result?
Every Dog Mom Gift Set comes with unlimited revisions, you won't receive a single brick until you love your design. We go back and forth with you until it's exactly right.
