Funny Boxer Dog Shirts

The Boxer was developed in Germany in the late 1800s from a heavier hunting dog, and the American Kennel Club recognized it in 1904. A popular story says the name comes from the way Boxers stand up and bat with their front paws when they play. Owners have another name for them: the Peter Pan of dogs, because a Boxer can keep its puppy energy for years. It is a serious-looking, muscular dog with the soul of a class clown, and that contrast is the joke in most of these designs.

This collection is Boxer humor with a straight face, all original illustrations. The walk and the door: "We Walk When I Say," where the dog is clearly holding the leash, and "Says After You," a doorway standoff in which nobody moves first. The personality: "Serious About Joy," "The Good Kind of Stubborn," "Make Space for Mischief," "Brave Enough to Play" and "Good Energy Has Weight," for a dog that leans on you with its full body. The entrances: "Makes an Entrance," a Boxer throwing the switch on a lit-up marquee, and "Wear Your Welcome Out." The interruptions: "Hold That Thought," a Boxer draped across the book you were reading, "Cut to the Chase" and "Refuse the Small Version." And the art history wing, where Boxers take over the classics: The Scream, Dogs Playing Poker, Uncle Sam, The Creation of Adam, The Birth of Venus, the Mona Lisa, Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Starry Night.

FAQ

Are these Boxer shirts unisex?

Yes. The Washed Tee is a unisex relaxed straight cut and true to size; for a closer fit, size down one. Measurements are in our size guide.

Why are Boxers called the Peter Pan of dogs?

Boxers mature slowly and many keep a playful, bouncy puppy personality well into adulthood. Owners often describe the full-body wiggle, the leaning and the sudden zoomies as part of a Boxer's charm for its whole life.

Can I return a tee if the size is wrong?

Because each tee is printed to order, we cannot accept returns for size or change of mind. Damaged or misprinted items are covered by our returns policy.
