Hat, bandana, and a desert sunset doing the heavy lifting
Cowboy is the warmest style in the catalogue - an entire picture built out of two accessories and a sky.

The style samples share one golden retriever wherever they can (the astronaut is a beagle), so you can compare all 10 mediums like for like.
How Cowboy is drawn
Your pet wears a western hat and bandana against a desert sunset, rendered in warm tones throughout. There is no graphic trick to it: the style is carried by the colour temperature, which is why it feels less like a costume than most dress-up portraits do.
Which pets it suits
Golden and red coats are the obvious winners, since the sunset amplifies what is already there. Cream and white dogs pick up the warm light beautifully too. A slightly raised chin composes best under a brim - a level or lifted head photo rather than one looking down.
Whatever the medium, identity outranks it: the generator is told never to change breed, face shape, coat colour, markings, eye colour or ears. The photo guidelines cover what to upload.
How it prints
Cowboy is made for dark shirts and keyed into them, so there is never a rectangle stuck on the shirt: the darkest parts of the picture are left as bare fabric, and the warm light on the hat, the bandana and the coat is what takes ink. Berry is the warm choice, carrying that glow past the edge of the print; true navy cools it down, like the sky an hour after sunset.
Every design prints at a 12-inch chest placement on a 16-colour garment range - the mockups above use the real print box.

Cowboy questions
How is this different from the All-American look?＋
All-American is a preset look with no hat at all: your dog stays photographic, in front of a big, sun-faded vintage flag. This is a full western style with a desert sunset as the whole colour world.
Will the hat brim shadow my dog's eyes?＋
The style lights from the sunset behind and fills the face from the front, so the eyes stay readable. Uploading a photo with the face already in shadow is the thing that undermines it.
What does it cost and what is included?＋
$34.99 for the printed shirt, free US shipping, and no charge for generating or previewing the artwork beforehand.
