German Shepherd Silhouette Christmas Sweatshirt: Four Embroidered GSDs in Scarves and a Santa Hat

This German shepherd silhouette Christmas sweatshirt lines up four shepherds across the chest, each stitched as a solid black silhouette with pointed ears and a long, low tail. The first sits with its head raised in a red Santa hat and a green-and-white striped scarf, the second stands alert in a red-and-green striped knit scarf with fringe, the third sits facing forward in a green scarf with two white pompoms, and the fourth sits in profile with a big red bow at its neck. 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 German shepherd silhouette Christmas sweatshirt?

The German shepherd silhouette Christmas sweatshirt has 2 parts:

• The shepherds: four black German shepherd silhouettes in a Santa hat, striped scarves, a pompom scarf and a red bow, in a row across 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 four shepherds on that color before you order.

The black silhouettes stand out most on light and mid-tone colors, where every pointed ear and tail reads clearly next to the red and green scarves. On colors close to red or green, the matching scarf or bow softens into the fabric while the black dogs stay sharp, and on darker colors the scarves, the bow and the Santa hat 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 shepherd’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 four German shepherds Christmas sweatshirt for a shepherd pack?

Yes. Four shepherds in four different holiday scarves make this four German shepherds Christmas sweatshirt a fit for a home with more than one shepherd, or for anyone who loves the breed’s outline. The all-black dogs also make it a black German shepherd Christmas sweatshirt for owners of solid black shepherds, and the design has no words on it, so it suits a shepherd mom and a shepherd dad alike.

Is it a good Christmas gift for a German shepherd lover?

Yes. It suits a German shepherd owner, a breeder, a trainer or K9 handler, or a friend who just adopted a shepherd. Add the dogs’ names on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our dog Christmas sweatshirts 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 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 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 shepherds printed or embroidered?

They are embroidered. The four black shepherds, the Santa hat, the scarves and the bow 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 shepherds look like my own dogs?

These shepherds are ready-made silhouettes. To stitch your own dog from a photo, choose the custom dog Christmas sweatshirt, which also comes as a T-shirt.

Are there other German shepherd designs?

Yes. A black and tan shepherd in a Santa hat with a gift is on our German shepherd Santa hat sweatshirt, and more breeds in hats and scarves are in our embroidered Christmas sweatshirts.
