The way of English decorating can offer one more than its usual white china and pretty picture frames. In addition this created rise of popular dog portraits from the Victorian era among these people. With cave walls as their canvas, dog portraits came to existence 15,000 to 30,000 years back.

When paintings were made with the royal children even the royal dogs were involved. Also, Country squires would bring in their dogs in estate portraits and include them in wills. These portraits were always part of the family record.

It was only around the 1800s that the dog portraiture industry became a big hit to many people. As a result numerous people had the interest to get dog portraiture for themselves. For Great Britain there were 6 million animal painters from a population of 20 million to 30 million.

Even though many were amateurs, their work was still selling really well. Many collectors preferred these kinds of paintings according to this art consultant. More common was it to have pets in pictures with mixed breeds. The purebred portraits were more of a collector's item says a New York gallery owner and former director of the dog museum of America. This style ranged from paintings, prints, pastels and watercolors.

When a collector was into a type of breed the purebred portraits were what he wanted to get. The society dog that is the cavalier King Charles spaniel is more demanded by portrait collectors. In terms of price, the purebred portraits and the sporting portraits are not that different.

Dog portraits are very common these days and can be bought in many places. To get good dog portraits one can go to Art galleries, auction houses, private dealers and antique and thrift shops. In flea markets and garage sales nothing much can be offered in terms of dog portraits.

It is wise to get information on the piece you are interested in acquiring. In times when you want to acquire a portrait of a certain breed it is wise to read more about it especially in the early 19th century breed books.

Your research will come in handy if you buy through auction. Auction houses do not usually provide proof of authenticity so do not get fooled. Good dealers always assure their buyers that the piece is real through writing. Just as well always remember that you also need to do your own research.
