This canine species may also be called the Cape hunting dog or the African painted dog for its colorful, patchy coat.
Each coat marking is unique to each individual—pretty much like the human fingerprint.
There are subtle differences among the four sub-species that inhabit the continent:
While the African wild dog's face resembles that of its domesticated cousin, its ears are larger and more rounded.
So this features and the proportionality have to be captured in African wild dog art to make it worth its medium—certainly that based on realism.
Sound effects? A wide range actually, including barks, whining, howls and even twittering.
These canines typically live in packs of 7–15 although decades ago, 100-dog packs were a common sight.
Our painted dog collection consists of paintings and figurines (or sculptures) created by established and budding African artists.

If you are a dog lover, you'll love our African wild dog art.
Unfortunately, you cannot keep the wild canine as your pet...
But settling for an African wild dog painting and figurine is even better in many respects.
First, these innately wild animals cannot harm you which would be a considerable risk if you kept them as a pet.
Second, your artwork can help sensitive your relatives and friends on the wild dog's endangered status.
That way, we can all advocate for policies and programs that can help roll back the tide. Before it's too late.
Third, the African wild dog can continue to live and hopefully thrive in the wild, where it has the best chance of survival as a species.
