Put your border collie on a magazine cover.
Upload one photo and your border collie becomes this month's cover star of Modern Mutt — deadpan interview, suspiciously specific stats, a feud with the usual suspects, the works. Free to make and share. The clean, frame-ready file is $7.99.
What makes border collies good cover material.
The smartest dog in the room, and completely aware of it. A border collie will learn a trick in four repetitions and then spend a year negotiating the terms. The cover treats that as an executive profile — intense, over-qualified, and faintly disappointed in the rest of us.
Three border collies, three completely different covers.
Nothing below is a template with a border collie's name dropped into it — it is what the engine actually wrote for three different border collies, from three different sets of answers.
Pepper — a mischievous, lazy border collie, sworn enemy of the squirrels, best known for the full sprawl:
Photographed Moments Before Doing It Again
- The great tree standoff — Hours invested. Zero squirrels apprehended. Morale unbroken.
- A collie of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
- Horizontal, professionally — Occupies a bed built for three. Regrets nothing.
"I regret nothing and remember everything. The squirrels know what they did."
510 treats negotiated · 39 squirrel standoffs survived · 5 dramatic sighs per hour
Peanut — a food-obsessed, regal border collie, sworn enemy of the mailman, best known for stealing socks:
On Fame, Snacks, and the Mailman
- Born to it — The furniture was always, obviously, spoken for
- Laundry day: a crisis — Every pair now a single. Detectives suspect an inside job.
- Always starving — Fed nine minutes ago. Sources describe it as a lifetime.
"I'm not difficult. I'm selective."
1,712 treats negotiated · 45 mailman standoffs survived · 9 dramatic sighs per hour
Gus — a anxious, dramatic border collie, sworn enemy of the cat, best known for the head tilt:
Twelve Minutes With Gus, Who Is Busy
- A collie of rare distinction — Setting a standard the others pretend not to notice
- Forty-five degrees — The angle that has never once lost a negotiation
- On high alert — Everything is a threat, and everything has been logged
"Every meal is my last meal. It's not drama, it's policy. The cat knows what it did."
1,102 treats negotiated · 34 cat standoffs survived · 8 dramatic sighs per hour

What do I get with a border collie cover?
Making and sharing the cover is free (it carries a small watermark). The paid download is a clean, watermark-free 8.5×11 file at 320 DPI for $7.99 — it prints true-size on letter paper at home or at any print shop.
How does it work?
Upload one photo of your border collie, pick a personality, a sworn nemesis, and a signature move — our deadpan editorial engine writes the whole cover in about 60 seconds. No account needed.
Is my photo kept private?
Yes. Covers live at an unlisted link only you can share, they're never shown publicly or used for advertising, and free covers are automatically deleted after about 30 days.
Can I send it as a gift?
That's the classic move: make the cover free, share the link with family, and anyone — including the grandparents — can grab the print-ready file.
