FLEECE SHIRT Dackel Sky Blue

Dachshund Fleece Shirt made from Polar Fleece designed for long backs and unique proportions

This dachshund shirt was specifically developed for the unique body proportions of dachshunds, regardless of whether it is a standard dachshund or smaller varieties such as miniature or rabbit dachshunds. The long back, narrow chest and low hanging belly place particular demands on dachshund clothing. Conventional cuts often do not sufficiently consider this anatomy.

The sleeveless design ensures maximum freedom of movement and is especially suitable for dachshunds with very short legs, as no leg length needs to be adjusted and nothing restricts movement. The elastic belly band keeps the shirt securely in place without slipping or creating pressure. The cut covers the back optimally while still leaving enough room for natural movement during everyday activities.

Functional Polar Fleece for active dachshunds

Made from high quality Polar Fleece, the material is lightweight, breathable and pleasantly soft. Dachshunds generally have little body fat and tend to react more sensitively to lower temperatures. The fleece fabric reliably retains warmth without overheating and is ideal for cooler days or as an additional layer under another garment.

The material also offers a certain level of protection against moisture in snow or light rain and is durable while maintaining its shape. Even after many washes at 30 °C, the shirt remains comfortable and keeps its fit. With this type of material it is normal for the fabric to shrink by up to three percent during washing. This characteristic was taken into account when developing the sizes and does not affect the fit.

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.
