Gifts for Pug and Small Dog Owners: Funny Sweatshirts

Small dogs, big opinions

Anyone who lives with a pug, a dachshund, a corgi or a French bulldog knows the pattern. The dog is small. The attitude is not. They plant themselves on the doormat when it is cold, steal cookies from the coffee table, and treat every holiday costume like a personal insult. Gifts for pug and small dog owners work best when they capture that exact energy, which is what these designs do.

A quick note on honesty: our designs are written around behavior, so they suit any dog, but several of them feature small breeds, and those are the ones highlighted below.

For the pug owner

The Wore the Antlers. Once. sweatshirt shows a pug in a felt antler headband with the most unimpressed face in the house. Every owner knows that expression. It is also available as a hoodie for colder climates, and it is the single best match for anyone who has tried to make a pug wear a costume for a photo.

For the dachshund owner

The Long Dog, Short Days sweatshirt puts a long dog in a knit hat on a cozy blanket. It is a calm design for people who love their dog's loaf-shaped napping style. If your dachshund person also celebrates Hanukkah, the Latke Security sweatshirt has a dachshund in a blue knit sweater guarding the latkes.

For the corgi owner

The Sweater On Sweater Off sweatshirt shows a confused corgi in a chunky knit, with the tagline repeat until spring. Anyone who has watched a small dog try on a sweater and immediately try to remove it will recognize the whole routine.

For the French bulldog owner

The Blanket Burrito Season sweatshirt features a sleepy French bulldog rolled up tight in a plaid blanket with hot cocoa nearby. It is a cozy gift for anyone whose frenchie takes blanket time seriously.

For the dog who refuses winter

The Walk Declined. Too Cold. sweatshirt features a small dog in a knit sweater, planted on the doormat while the snow falls. The matching hoodie is a nice upgrade for the owner who has to do the walk anyway.

How to choose

• Know the breed? Pick the design with the matching dog above.
• Not sure? Choose a behavior design like Walk Declined or Sweater On Sweater Off. They fit any small dog.
• Buying for a family? A sweatshirt for the owner and a tee for a second person is an easy pair.
