It's a Scottish Terrier Thing You Wouldn't Understand

2 designs of the same line, so you can pick the artwork rather than settle for the first one you find.

Getting the breed right

Breed shirts live or die on accuracy. A scottish terrier 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.

Across the 2 designs here the wording is identical, so the choice is which drawing actually looks like their dog.

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.

Dignified, and unmoved by your opinion

Scotties are independent to a degree that surprises people who expect a small dog to be biddable. Owners describe it as negotiating rather than training.

The coat needs hand-stripping to keep the harsh texture, and most groomers will suggest clipping instead.

The silhouette is instantly recognisable, which is unusual and part of why owners like it.

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. Shiba Inu, Shih Poo and Shih Tzu each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
