Doxie Through the Snow Sweatshirt: Embroidered Dachshund in a Santa Hat and Red Booties

This doxie through the snow sweatshirt shows a long black dachshund walking to the side, nose forward and tail up, in a red Santa hat with a white brim and pompom. All four paws wear little red booties with white cuffs, a single silver snowflake sits on each side of the dog, and the words “DOXIE THROUGH THE SNOW” run underneath in simple serif capitals, a play on the line from “Jingle Bells”. 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 doxie through the snow sweatshirt?

The doxie through the snow sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The dachshund: a black silhouette in a red Santa hat and red booties, walking between two snowflakes, centered on the chest.
• The words: “DOXIE THROUGH THE SNOW” in serif capitals under the dog.
• 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.

The black dog and the red hat and booties stand out most on light and mid-tone colors. The words are stitched in a light thread on the darker and brighter colors and in a dark thread on the light ones, as the photos show, and your free proof confirms the thread colors before we stitch.

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 doxie through the snow crewneck for the whole winter?

Yes. The snowflakes and the booties make this doxie through the snow crewneck feel as right in January as it does on Christmas morning, and the Santa hat keeps it festive for holiday parties and tree trimming. The short pun gets a smile from every dachshund owner who knows the song.

Is it a good Christmas gift for a dachshund lover?

Yes. It suits a dachshund mom or dad, a doxie rescue volunteer, or a friend whose wiener dog refuses to walk in the snow without boots. 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?

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

Are the dachshund and the words printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The dog, the hat, the booties, the snowflakes and each letter 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 silhouette. 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.
