Dachshund Dog Shirt in Sweat 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.
Soft cotton sweat with a comfortable feel on the dog’s body
Made from high quality cotton sweat with a lightly brushed inner surface, this fabric offers a particularly comfortable feel on the dog’s body. The cotton blend is breathable, shape stable and soft enough for sensitive Dachshunds. Thanks to its dense structure, the shirt is ideal for cooler days, transitional seasons or as an additional layer under another piece of clothing.
The blend of 67 percent cotton and 33 percent polyester ensures durability and long lasting quality without compromising comfort. Even after repeated washing at 30 degrees, the fabric remains stable and comfortable. Minimal shrinkage is normal with cotton sweat and has been considered in our sizing development, so the fit remains consistent.
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.
it 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.
