German Shepherd Santa Hat Sweatshirt: Embroidered GSD in a Red Scarf with a Christmas Gift

This German shepherd Santa hat sweatshirt shows one shepherd sitting tall on the chest, ears up and head tilted toward you. The dog has the classic black and tan coat, with a black mask, a black saddle and a long tan and black tail, and it wears a red Santa hat with a white brim and pompom and a red knit scarf wrapped around its neck. Beside it sits a green gift box with white polka dots, tied with an orange ribbon and bow. It is a ready-made design: choose the color and size, add a name or icon on the sleeve if you like, and we stitch it to order. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the German shepherd Santa hat sweatshirt?

The German shepherd Santa hat sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The shepherd and the gift: a black and tan German shepherd in a Santa hat and red scarf, next to a green polka dot gift box, centered on the chest.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the shepherd on that color before you order.

On light colors the black mask, the black saddle and the tan coat all read clearly, and on colors close to the tan coat the black markings, the red scarf and the green gift keep the dog easy to see. On dark colors the tan coat, the Santa hat and the gift box pop, while the black saddle sits closer to the fabric.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 4 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery.
• If you add it, type the name or initials, then pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or your initials, such as your shepherd’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a German shepherd Christmas crewneck for the whole season?

Yes. The Santa hat, the scarf and the wrapped present make this German shepherd Christmas crewneck a natural pick for gift exchanges, holiday parties and Christmas morning, and the sitting shepherd keeps it a GSD Christmas sweatshirt you can wear from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. The design has no words on it, so it suits a shepherd mom, a shepherd dad or a K9 handler alike.

Is it a good Christmas gift for a German shepherd lover?

Yes. It suits a German shepherd owner, a breeder or trainer, or a friend who just brought home a shepherd puppy. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our dog Christmas sweatshirts and dog lover gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

No. This design comes only on the crewneck sweatshirt, so the color and size options above are all for that sweatshirt.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For delivery by Christmas, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the German shepherd printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The black and tan coat, the Santa hat, the scarf and the gift box are stitched in thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can the shepherd look like my own dog?

This shepherd is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, choose the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt, which also comes as a T-shirt.

Are there other German shepherd designs?

Yes. A black and tan shepherd lying down is on our German shepherd shirt, and more breeds in Santa hats and scarves are in our embroidered Christmas sweatshirts.
