Old English Sheepdog Sweatshirt: Embroidered Shaggy Sheepdog Sitting with a Red Tongue

This Old English sheepdog sweatshirt shows the whole dog, not just the face. A shaggy sheepdog sits in profile with its head lifted, its fringe hanging over its eyes and a red tongue out, as if it is waiting for a treat. The head, chest and front legs are stitched in white and soft grey with layered fur, and the back and hindquarters in black, all inside a fine black outline. It sits small on the left chest, like a logo. 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 Old English sheepdog sweatshirt?

The Old English sheepdog sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The front: a shaggy sitting sheepdog with a white front, a dark back and a red tongue, small on the left 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 sheepdog on that color before you order.

The two-tone coat reads best on light and mid-tone colors, such as white, sand, soft grey, pastels and muted blues and greens, where both the white front and the dark back stand out. On the darkest colors the black back blends into the fabric, and the white head, chest and red tongue carry 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 sheepdog’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 an Old English sheepdog or a sheepadoodle?

It is drawn as an Old English sheepdog, with the shaggy fringe and the white front of the breed. The black and white coat also looks like a sheepadoodle or a black and white doodle, so owners of those dogs wear this sheepdog sweatshirt too.

Is it a good sheepdog mom sweatshirt?

Yes. The small sitting dog and the optional sleeve name make it an easy sheepdog mom sweatshirt, and the unisex fit works as an Old English sheepdog crewneck for a sheepdog dad as well. It also makes a thoughtful birthday or holiday gift; find more ideas in our dog mom gifts 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 a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

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 a relaxed fit.

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 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 sheepdog printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The shaggy fur, the outline and the red tongue are stitched in thread, so the dog has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is there a similar shaggy dog design?

Yes. The white goldendoodle sweatshirt has a shaggy white doodle too, but as a front-facing cartoon face, while this design shows a full sheepdog sitting in profile.

Can the sheepdog look like my own dog?

This sheepdog is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, choose the custom dog crewneck, and find more breeds in our dog sweatshirts for humans.
