Dog Dad Shirts

Most dog dad shirts say the same thing in the same font. We went the other way: one original design for each of our 21 breeds, picked because it shows what that dog was actually bred to do, or what it does to his day. Find his breed below, then follow the link to that breed's full dad shelf if you want more choice.

The working dogs come first. The Dachshund heads underground in "Badger Lineage," a nod to the German Dachshund, literally badger dog. The Golden Retriever trots back with a training dummy in "Field Return," the Labrador launches off a dock in "First In," and the German Shorthaired Pointer wades from field to water in "All Purpose." The Corgi gets "Field Built" against a stone wall, the Beagle follows a scent in "Follow on Foot," and the Rottweiler watches over a sleeping city as the "After Hours Guardian." The German Shepherd sits motionless in "Still Ready," the Doberman races in "Cut Through Air," and the Great Dane leans into a harness in "Tension Takes Shape." The small and the stubborn have their own: the French Bulldog passes a "Load Test," the English Bulldog keeps a "Low Center," the Boston Terrier is "Built for the Turn," the Shih Tzu plays chess in "Soft Power," the Chihuahua picks up "Clear Reception" with those ears, the Pomeranian stars in its own movie poster, "The Pomeranian," and the Yorkie keeps a detective's company in "Charm Needs an Alibi." The rest are pure attitude: the Pug's "Heroics After Breakfast," the Boxer's "Last Train to Glory," the Pit Bull's "Cross with Courage" and the Husky's "Talk Less, Arrive Better."

Every design is printed on our Washed Tee: 100% cotton, 250 gsm, washed vintage finish, relaxed unisex fit, S to 5XL, three colors per design. 2 or more tees ship free in the US, and 3 or more get 15% off automatically. Each breed has its own shelf, for example Dachshund dad shirts, Labrador dad shirts, German Shepherd dad shirts and French Bulldog dad shirts. Shopping for her?

FAQ

Do these shirts say dog dad?

No. They are original breed designs, one per breed, chosen for the man who lives with that dog. We think a shirt that shows his own breed doing its own job says dog dad better than the words do.

What if his breed is not here?

We design for 21 breeds: Dachshund, Golden Retriever, Labrador, French Bulldog, Corgi, Pug, German Shepherd, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, English Bulldog, Doberman, Boston Terrier, Yorkie, Beagle, Boxer, Pit Bull, Pomeranian, Husky, German Shorthaired Pointer, Great Dane and Rottweiler. If his dog is a mix, pick the breed he says it looks most like; that is usually the best story anyway.

What size should I get for a man?

The Washed Tee is a relaxed straight unisex cut and true to size, from S to 5XL, so most men order their usual size. Check the chest width in our size guide. Tees are printed to order, so we cannot take returns for a wrong size.
