Dachshund Christmas Lights Sweatshirt: Embroidered Doxie Carrying a String of Lights

This dachshund Christmas lights sweatshirt shows a smooth black and tan doxie mid-step, tail up and long body stretched out, carrying a string of Christmas lights in its mouth as if it just pulled them off the tree. The bulbs swing down in front of it in red, yellow, blue and green on a dark cord, and the tan points on its face, chest and paws are stitched in a warm caramel. 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 dachshund Christmas lights sweatshirt?

The dachshund Christmas lights sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The front: a black and tan dachshund trotting to the side with a string of colored Christmas lights in its mouth, 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 doxie on that color before you order.

The black and tan dog stands out most on light and mid-tone colors, where its outline, the tan points and every bulb read clearly. On the darkest colors the black body sits closer to the fabric, so the tan markings and the bright bulbs carry the design.

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 funny doxie Christmas lights sweatshirt?

Yes. Anyone who has a dachshund knows the dog that steals the lights before the tree is even finished, and this doxie Christmas lights sweatshirt turns that moment into a small, cheerful design. There are no words on it, so it reads as a wink to other doxie owners rather than a loud ugly sweater.

Is it a good Christmas gift for a dachshund lover?

Yes. It suits a dachshund mom or dad, a friend who just brought home a wiener dog puppy, or anyone who sends a dog photo with every holiday card. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our dachshund gifts and dog Christmas sweatshirts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same doxie with its Christmas lights comes on our dachshund Christmas lights shirt, a soft short-sleeve tee for warmer holiday days. The color and size options above are for the crewneck 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 dachshund printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The black and tan dog, the cord and each colored bulb 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 dachshund look like my own dog?

This doxie is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, with its real coat and markings, choose the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt, which also comes as a T-shirt.

Are there other dachshund Christmas designs?

Yes. More doxies in Santa hats, sweaters and snow are in our dachshund sweatshirts and embroidered Christmas sweatshirts.
