Sure, witches, black cats, and spooky faces make perfectly fine Jack-o’-lanterns, but we can think of few things cuter than immortalizing your furry best friend pet on the face of a beautiful gourd for the month of October. You’re probably thinking, “Great! But uh, I do not have the skills to transfer my dog’s gorgeous face onto a pumpkin.” Well, good news, dear readers. We have created printable dog-breed pumpkin carving patterns that you can use to create the ultimate display of doggy love this Halloween.
Whether you happen to have a Great Dane, Corgi or German Shepherd, we’ve got a pumpkin carving template for you. Simply print these off, tape them to your pumpkin, grab your favorite pumpkin carving tools (we love these from Amazon), and let your inner artist shine.
