It's a Maltese Thing You Wouldn't Understand
One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
Getting the breed right
Breed shirts live or die on accuracy. A maltese 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.
Old, small, and not fragile
The Maltese has been a companion breed for two thousand years, and owners point out that ancient does not mean delicate — these are sturdy little dogs with opinions.
The white coat is a daily job unless it is kept in a puppy cut, which is what most owners eventually choose.
They do not shed much, which is why they get recommended to people with allergies, correctly or otherwise.
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. Maltipoo, Mastador and Peekapoo each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
