German Shorthaired Pointer Christmas Sweatshirt: Embroidered Ticked GSP in a Santa Hat

This German shorthaired pointer Christmas sweatshirt shows a GSP standing in profile with its head forward and its docked tail held high, the alert stance of a pointer in the field. The coat is white, ticked all over with small dark spots, with bold black patches on the back, the rump and the head, and the dog wears a red Santa hat with a white brim and pompom. 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 shorthaired pointer Christmas sweatshirt?

The German shorthaired pointer Christmas sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The front: a black and white ticked German shorthaired pointer in a red Santa hat, standing in profile across the center of 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 pointer on that color before you order.

The white, ticked coat stands out most on mid-tone and dark colors, where every spot and patch reads clearly against the fabric. On the lightest colors the white body sits closer to the fabric, so the black patches, the ticking and the red hat carry the shape of the dog.

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 pointer’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 for the darker colors; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a German shorthaired pointer Santa hat sweatshirt for the whole season?

Yes. The red hat makes this German shorthaired pointer Santa hat sweatshirt an easy pick for tree trimming, holiday parties and Christmas morning, and the realistic, ticked coat keeps it a bird dog sweatshirt you can wear from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. The design has no words on it, so it suits a GSP mom, a GSP dad or an upland hunter alike.

Is it a good Christmas gift for a GSP owner?

Yes. It suits anyone who lives with a black and white GSP, a hunter who runs pointers, a breeder or a handler, or a friend who just brought home a shorthair 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 chest width and length with a sweatshirt you already own before you order. Size up for an oversized look.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and the color even, follow 4 steps:

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

Frequently asked questions

Is the pointer printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The white coat, the black patches, the ticking and the Santa hat 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 dog look like my own GSP?

This pointer is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, with its own liver or black markings, choose the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt, which also comes as a T-shirt, and see a liver and white GSP on our German shorthaired pointer sweatshirt.

Are there other GSP Christmas designs?

Yes. A black pointer carrying a string of lights is on our German shorthaired pointer Christmas lights sweatshirt, and more breeds in Santa hats are in our embroidered Christmas sweatshirts.
