Black and Tan Dachshund Christmas Sweatshirt: Three Embroidered Doxies in Santa Hats and Antlers

A black and tan dachshund Christmas sweatshirt for anyone whose holidays revolve around a long little dog: three doxies lie and sit in a row across the chest, each dressed for the season in its own way. The design is ready-made and embroidered to order in real thread, so the hats, scarf and antlers have a raised, stitched texture.

What is on the black and tan dachshund Christmas sweatshirt?

All three dogs have glossy black coats with the classic tan points on the eyebrows, muzzle, chest and paws. From left to right:

• The cozy one: lying down in a red knit sweater with white cuffs and a red Santa hat, a teal collar with a gold jingle bell under the chin.
• The cheerful one: sitting up in the middle in a Santa hat and a long red scarf, mouth open in a happy grin.
• The sleepy one: stretched out with eyes closed, wearing a headband of tan reindeer antlers, a shiny red ornament and a gold bell resting by its front paws.

The row sits centered on the chest, with small touches of red, white, green and gold against the black coats.

Why three dachshunds instead of one?

Dachshunds are long, low dogs, first bred to follow badgers into their burrows, and a row of three of them stretches across a chest almost like a garland. The trio also covers the three moods every doxie owner recognizes in December: the one who wants to be warm, the one who wants attention and the one who has already fallen asleep under the tree. Plenty of dachshund homes have more than one, so a pack design feels true to life. Two dogs wear Santa hats and one wears antlers, which makes this a dachshund Santa hat sweatshirt and a dachshund reindeer sweatshirt at the same time.

Which color should you choose?

Black coats need contrast, so light and mid-tone colors show every outline and tan point. On dark colors the bodies turn into soft silhouettes while the tan markings, red hats, sweater and antlers carry the design. Tones close to the red outfits make the hats and scarf read more quietly. Use the color option above and the photos switch to that color.

Who is this dachshund sweatshirt for?

It is made for a family with a pack of doxies, a dachshund mom or dad, or the friend who stops for every sausage dog on the sidewalk. It also works as a gift exchange pick or for a holiday card photo with your own black and tan pup. If you want to match, the same three holiday doxies come on our black and tan dachshund Christmas shirt, a short-sleeve T-shirt; the options above are for the crewneck sweatshirt.

Can you add a name to the sleeve?

You can. Add a doxie’s name or a few initials to the left or right sleeve and, if you like, a small icon beside it, choosing the lettering style and thread from the charts shown in the photos. The thread starts out as White, the clearest pick on dark sweatshirts; on light ones, switch to Black or a similar dark shade.

Ordering, sizing and care

This sweatshirt is stitched to order and ships from the USA, with the estimated delivery date shown on this page. You will get a free design proof by email first, and edits are unlimited. To receive it by Christmas Day, order by December 8 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S. We cannot exchange sizes on made-to-order pieces, so measure against the size guide on this page. Wash inside out in cold water, and do not iron over the stitching. More doxie designs live in our dachshund sweatshirts.

Frequently asked questions

Can the dogs be changed to red or dapple dachshunds?

No, this is a ready-made design and we stitch the three black and tan doxies as shown. For a red wiener dog, see the dachshund Christmas sweatshirt, where a red doxie in antlers pulls a Christmas tree on a sled.

Is it a sweater for dogs?

No. It is a fleece crewneck sweatshirt for people in adult sizes, not a knitted sweater and not clothing for your dachshund. The dogs are the embroidered design.

Are there other holiday dog designs?

Yes. Other breeds dressed for the season are in our dog Christmas sweatshirts.
