An Archive is a carefully preserved record of something too meaningful to lose.
At Argo Archives, that record is your dog.
Every Archive arrives carefully presented in our signature packaging, designed to protect the artwork while making the unveiling part of the experience surprising.
Every dog leaves its mark on the family they've been gifted with.
Not only through the lives they change, but through the details that belong to them alone. The sweet eyes that searched for you, the nose that knew your scent, and the paws that carried them through every chapter of your life.
The Archive was created to preserve their most precious details before they become distant memories.
EachArgo Archive is thoughtfully created as a museum-quality record of your dog's identity. Through fine art photography, archival materials, and carefully documented impressions, we create a piece that s is as personal as your companion.

Packaging
The packaging your Archive comes in is as special as the archive itself.
It's been created to hold this precious gift in the safest of places.
Many people are not immediately ready to display. When you are ready it will be waiting and in perfect condition.
If this is a gift for a child who's off to college or moved away, there's no need for wrapping. The beautiful box and interior is designed to give as is.
Reverse Prints
Besides the gorgeous macro images of your companions eye, nose and paw we create a reverse prints of their nose and paw that is photographed edited and added to your piece.
Macro Images
We utilize our many years of professional photography experience to get the clearest, closest images of those eyes that look deep into your soul when your sad, their nose that can smell you a mile away and why they always need your socks to feel safe and the paws that are the history of how many years they have or will be, running to you when they know you are near.
Packaging
You will receive your finished archive numbered and ready to hang in our specialty box wrapped in archival tissue paper for you to save, gift or move. Every art piece will also come with a pair of white gloves for handling while hanging and using to wipe clean for years to come.
Every Piece is Original
Every finished piece is different and original to you and your companion. We photograph according to what makes you both comfortable and that makes it real and true to who they are. Nothing is ever forced.
Example: Not every companion is comfortable having his paws photographed.
As you can see in the first photo above, Franky was not up for that so we created an image he was up for.
In the center image above, little did we know that Bruno was in his last hours. When we saw his owner holding hand in paw, it was the only paw image we felt was needed for their archival piece.
