The United Kennel Club opened in 1898, and the very first dog it registered was an American Pit Bull Terrier named Bennett's Ring, owned by the club's founder, Chauncey Bennett. More than a century later, pit bull is still a word for a type of dog rather than one breed: it covers the American Pit Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a lot of shelter mixes with the same wide head and athletic build. What the owners describe is the same everywhere: a powerful dog that thinks it is a lap dog.
This shelf is for the man on the couch under that dog. None of our pit bull designs says "dad," so we chose the ones about strength and steadiness, with nothing that reads as a threat. Built strong: "Lean / Solid / Ready" in vintage sports-poster panels, "Solid Is a Verb" with a pit climbing giant block letters, and "Motion Makes Meaning" as a motion study. The workshop: "Heritage with a New Heart," an old mill poster with gears and an Est. 1892 stamp. Courage: "Cross with Courage," "Make Room for the Brave," "Give Fear Less Room" and "Leave a Brave Trace." The big-hearted ones: "Every Scar Has Range" and "Make Space for Truth." And three public-domain classics: Uncle Sam pointing "You Have Been Selected for Better Ideas," Michelangelo's Creation of Adam and Munch's The Scream as "Monday Found Me."

FAQ
Do these shirts say Pitbull dad?
No. They are original pit bull designs about strength, courage and a steady temperament, picked for the man who lives with one. None of them is on our Pit Bull rescue or Pitbull mom pages, so you can mix designs from all three. We left out anything that looks like a warning or a tough-guy threat.
Are these shirts a fundraiser?
No. daWoofie is a shirt shop, not a rescue, and these tees are not sold to raise money for an organization. If you want to help pit bulls in need, your local shelter is the best place to start.
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.
