COTTON SHIRT Dackel White

Dachshund shirt made from high quality cotton designed for long backs and unique proportions.

Specifically developed for the anatomy of Dachshunds

This Dachshund dog shirt has been carefully developed to fit the unique body proportions of Dachshunds, whether Standard Dachshunds or smaller varieties such as Miniature and Rabbit Dachshunds. The long back, narrow chest and low body position create specific requirements for Dachshund clothing. Standard dog apparel often fails to accommodate this anatomy correctly.

The sleeveless design ensures full freedom of movement and is especially suitable for Dachshunds with very short legs, as no sleeve length needs to be adjusted and nothing restricts natural motion. The elastic belly panel keeps the shirt securely in place without slipping or creating pressure. The cut provides full back coverage while allowing natural movement throughout everyday activities.

High quality cotton material

Our popular shirt is now also available in striped French Terry, a high quality blend of 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
This lightweight, elastic fabric feels especially comfortable on the skin, is breathable and gives your dog maximum freedom of movement. Perfect for transitional seasons or as a light layer on cooler days.

The striped version also adds a sporty, relaxed look to your dog’s everyday style.

Handmade in our Berlin manufactory

Each shirt is carefully handmade in our own manufactory in Berlin. Our goal is to develop high quality sighthound clothing and Whippet apparel that adapts precisely to the anatomy of the dog, is functionally well thought out and reliably supports the dog in everyday life as well as during sporting activity. And at the same time looks very good.

Fit and choosing the right size

To ensure the shirt fits your dog perfectly, please refer to our size chart and measuring guide:

• Back length: measured from between the shoulder blades to the base of the tail
• Chest circumference: measured at the deepest part of the chest
• Neck circumference: measured around the middle of the neck where the collar usually sits

When measuring, make sure your dog stands calmly and straight. Do not measure too tightly or too loosely. The goal is a natural and comfortable fit. Start by selecting the correct back length, then check whether the chest and neck measurements match the chosen size as well. Your dog’s weight can also serve as a helpful reference.
Please note: the measurements in our size chart refer to the dog’s measurements, not the garment itself.

Despite careful measuring, it may still happen that the size is not entirely clear or a product does not fit perfectly. If you are unsure, we are always happy to offer a free and non binding size consultation. You can reach us at shop@karma-hund.de.
Sustainability is important to us, which is why we appreciate it if you contact us before placing your order. This helps avoid unnecessary returns, shipping routes and packaging materials.

Our appeal for sustainability

Please order consciously. Every return places a burden on the environment and resources. If possible, please avoid ordering multiple sizes for selection. We are happy to help you find the right size in advance. If the shirt still does not fit perfectly, we will of course exchange it. Please note, that we do not provide free return labels.

Size recommendation based on weight (guideline)

Please note that these values are only guidelines. Breed specific differences and individual body shapes should always be taken into account when choosing a size.

• S – for miniature dachshunds or very small dachshunds (approx. 4–5 kg)
• M – for miniature or rabbit dachshunds (approx. 5–6 kg)
• L – for standard dachshunds (approx. 6–7 kg)
• XL – for larger standard dachshunds (approx. 7–9 kg)
• XXL – for strong or stocky dachshunds (approx. 9–11 kg)
• 3XL – for very strong dachshunds or dachshund mixes (approx. 11–13 kg)

Teddy fleece is slightly more elastic and looser than polar fleece, so if you are between sizes we recommend choosing the smaller size.

Our model Frieda is a female dachshund. She has a back length of 35 cm, a chest circumference of 38 cm, a neck circumference of 24 cm, weighs 4.8 kg and wears size S.
