Spooky Dachshund Sweatshirt: Embroidered Long-Haired Doxie in a Ghost Costume with a Pumpkin Bucket

This spooky dachshund sweatshirt dresses a long-haired dachshund for trick-or-treat: a white ghost sheet with two cut-out eyeholes drapes over its long back, the hem falls in soft folds above its short legs, and its feathered ears and plumed tail peek out in warm red-brown. In its mouth it carries a smiling orange jack-o’-lantern bucket, and the word “spooky” arches above its back in lowercase serif letters. It is a ready-made design: choose the placement, the color and the size, keep the word as shown or pick its thread, 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 spooky dachshund sweatshirt?

The spooky dachshund sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The dachshund: a long-haired doxie in a ghost sheet with eyeholes, carrying a jack-o’-lantern bucket in its mouth.
• The word: “spooky” in lowercase serif letters, arched above the dog’s back.
• 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.

Where does the dachshund go on the sweatshirt?

You choose. Center Chest is preselected and stitches a larger dachshund in the middle of the chest, so the little ghost is the first thing people see. Left Chest stitches a smaller one where a pocket logo would sit, a quieter look for every day of October. The photos show both placements, and the price is the same.

Which thread color should you choose for the word spooky?

The thread option starts at As shown, which matches the photos: black letters on the light colors and white letters on the darker ones. You can also pick any thread from the thread color chart in the photos, for example orange to match the pumpkin. The dachshund, the ghost sheet and the bucket always stay as shown.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the dachshund on that color before you order. The white ghost sheet and the orange pumpkin stand out most on mid-tone and dark colors. On the palest colors the sheet reads softer, so the red-brown ears, the pumpkin and the word carry the design.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 6 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose Center Chest or Left Chest.
• Keep the word spooky as shown, or pick a thread color for it.
• 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 ghost costume sweatshirt for the whole spooky season?

Yes. The dachshund ghost costume is the joke, and the word spooky keeps it light, so you can wear it from the first cool day of fall through Halloween night. It is also a long haired dachshund ghost sweatshirt in the true sense: the drawing shows the feathered ears and plumed tail of a long-haired doxie, not a smooth coat.

Is it a good gift for a doxie lover?

Yes. This spooky doxie sweatshirt suits a dachshund mom or dad, a friend who dresses their own wiener dog up every October, or anyone who hosts a Halloween party with their dog. Add the dog’s name on the sleeve to make it personal, and find more ideas in our dachshund gifts.

Is there a hoodie or T-shirt version?

There is no hoodie, but there is a T-shirt: the same long-haired dachshund in its ghost sheet comes on our spooky dachshund shirt, small on the left chest. 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 Halloween or any 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 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 ghost sheet, the red-brown coat, the jack-o’-lantern and the word spooky are stitched in thread, so the design has a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

How is it different from the four ghost dogs sweatshirt?

This design shows one long-haired dachshund with the word spooky. Our four ghost dogs sweatshirt lines up four dogs of different breeds in ghost sheets with no words, across the chest.

Can the dachshund look like my own doxie?

This dachshund is a ready-made design. To stitch your own dog from a photo, choose the custom dog crewneck, and find more Halloween designs in our Halloween dog sweatshirts and dachshund sweatshirts.
