A proper blank sketchbook with a Battersea dog on the cover — and everything that implies. Produced under licence from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, this casebound hardback sketchbook brings the warmth and spirit of the charity's iconic dog imagery to a well-made, everyday drawing and sketching book that is as practical as it is pleasing to own. For anyone who draws, sketches, doodles, or keeps a visual journal — and who happens to love dogs — this is a sketchbook that feels personal from the moment you pick it up.
The cover is a traditional casebound hardback — robust, flat-opening, and built to withstand the daily wear of bag and desk life far better than a softcover or wire-bound alternative. At 148 x 200mm it sits between A6 and A5 — compact enough to carry everywhere, generous enough to work in comfortably. Inside, 80 sheets — 160 pages — of blank paper provide a clean, unlined surface for drawing, sketching, writing, planning, collaging, or any combination of the above.
The blank format gives complete freedom. No lines to work around, no grid to accommodate, no dot to ignore. Just paper and whatever you want to put on it.
Battersea has been caring for dogs and cats since 1860. A portion of all sales from the Battersea licensed product range supports the charity's ongoing work.

Is this a blank sketchbook or a lined notebook?
This version is blank throughout — all 160 pages are unlined, making it suitable for drawing, sketching, mixed media, collage, and visual journalling, as well as writing. If you prefer a lined version for everyday note-taking, please see our Battersea lined notebook listings.
What media can be used in this sketchbook?
The blank pages are suited to pencil, graphite, coloured pencils, pen and ink, fine liner, and light mixed media. For heavier wet media such as watercolour or acrylic, a dedicated watercolour or mixed media paper would be more appropriate.
Does this support Battersea?
Yes — the sketchbook is produced under licence from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, and a portion of sales from the Battersea licensed range supports the charity's work caring for rescue dogs and cats.
Is it a good gift?
Yes — particularly for anyone who draws, sketches, or keeps a visual journal and loves dogs. The Battersea licence gives it a personal dimension that a standard sketchbook cannot match. The Cat version is also available.
