Getting the breed right

Breed shirts live or die on accuracy. A havanese owner will spot a design drawn from the wrong breed immediately, and crosses are the easiest to get wrong — the coat and the ear shape are usually what gives it away. Look at the artwork before the slogan.

There is one design for this breed, so the only question is whether the drawing matches the dog you have in mind.

Who it is for

This works for someone who has explained their breed to strangers more than once — the rare breeds and the crosses especially, since those owners almost never find themselves on a shop shelf. It falls flat for someone who just likes dogs generally; for them a plain dog design is the better buy.

Cuba’s only native breed

Havanese are the national dog of Cuba and have the history to go with it, which owners enjoy explaining rather more than the average small-dog owner.

They are velcro dogs and cheerfully useless as guard dogs.

The coat can be corded or brushed out, and the choice is a whole conversation among owners.

Sizing and ordering

  • Unisex tees run true to size — size up one for a relaxed fit.
  • Allow two to three weeks. Each shirt is printed after you order, so production time comes before shipping time.
  • Checkout happens on the print partner's site — Senprints handles printing, payment and delivery.

If it is not quite the right breed

The wording only works when it names the exact breed, so it is worth checking before you buy. Irish Terrier, Maltese and Maltipoo each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
