Short on Legs Long on Love Sweatshirt: Four Embroidered Dachshunds Above the Saying

This short on legs long on love sweatshirt sums up life with a wiener dog in four little poses and five words. Four black and tan dachshunds line up across the chest: the first lies flat on its belly with its back legs stretched out behind, the second sits with its nose in the air, the third stands up on its hind legs to beg, and the fourth stands side-on, ready for a walk. Each dog has tan points on the muzzle, chest and paws. Underneath runs the saying “SHORT ON LEGS, LONG ON LOVE” in clean serif capitals. 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 short on legs long on love sweatshirt?

The short on legs long on love sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The dachshunds: four black and tan doxies in a row, lying down, sitting, begging on their hind legs and standing.
• The words: “SHORT ON LEGS, LONG ON LOVE” in serif capitals under the dogs, 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 design on that color before you order. Light neutrals and soft heathers give the crispest look, with the black and tan dogs and the dark lettering both sharp. On mid-tone and darker colors the words switch to a light grey thread so the saying stays easy to read, and the dogs keep their tan points.

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 doxie’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 dachshund quote sweatshirt you can wear every day?

Yes. It is a dachshund quote sweatshirt with a sweet saying instead of a joke that wears thin, and nothing on it ties it to a season or holiday. The words are part of the design and stay as shown; to make it personal, add your dog’s name on the sleeve.

Why four dachshunds?

The four dachshunds show the everyday moods of a short-legged dog: the belly-down stretch, the curious sit, the hopeful beg and the ready-to-go stand. Many doxie families see their own dog in one of the poses, and a household with several wiener dogs can picture the whole pack in the row.

Is it a good gift for a dachshund lover?

Yes. It suits a doxie mom or dad, a dachshund rescue volunteer or a friend who always talks about their sausage dog, and it makes an easy birthday, Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve, and find more ideas in our dachshund 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 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

Are the words printed or embroidered?

Everything is embroidered. The four dachshunds, every letter of the saying and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Is there a dachshund row without words?

Yes. The cottagecore dachshund sweatshirt has three black and tan doxies in a row too, playing among daisies, pink flowers, bees and a butterfly instead of standing above a saying.

Can the dachshunds look like my own dog?

These dachshunds are a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog’s face from a photo, choose the custom dog crewneck, and see more doxies in our dachshund sweatshirts.
