Personalized Custom Doodle Mom Sweatshirt

This doodle mom sweatshirt (or tee, long sleeve or hoodie) is a personalized custom pet portrait made for a dog who just looks like Christmas.

We draw your pup from a photo in soft pencil detail, wrap a string of old-fashioned bulbs around the neck, and leave the words off entirely.

Upload your doodle’s photo

Retro bulbs, curly fur, no text

The sample doodle has a huge open-mouth smile and a messy mop of curls. The lights are big vintage bulbs in red, green and gold on a dark green cord, looping across the chest.

Everything else is gray pencil texture, so those colored bulbs seem to glow against the shirt. From across the room it reads cheerful; up close you see every curl.

Any breed can wear the lights. Goldendoodles and labradoodles are just especially good at it, because all that fluff gives the pencil lines something to do.

How do you make a pet portrait shirt from a photo?

Choose a garment and size. Tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie.
Set the shirt color. The bulbs keep their red, green and gold.
Upload a photo where your dog’s face and chest are clear. We sketch your pup, not the sample doodle.
Add the dog’s name and breed so the file stays with your order. Example: Teddy, doodle.

Why curly fur and retro bulbs look so good together

Clip-art doodles all look alike, and hers has a very specific mop
Curly fur turns into a fuzzy blur in plain photo prints
Wordy dog mom shirts feel like a lot at the family dinner

A doodle owner can pick out her own dog’s curls from across the dog park. Her pup drawn in soft pencil detail from your photo, every curl visible, with retro red, green and gold bulbs looped around the neck and no text at all.

Only the drawing prints. Teddy’s name stays in our notes.

A dog lover tee for the whole crew

Most often it’s a doodle mom herself, or someone who knows her well, ordering for a house that already has dog-themed everything. She wants the curls of her actual dog, not a clip-art poodle in a scarf.

The dog mom with dog-themed everything

She owns the mugs and the doormat already, so a sketch of her own pup is the piece still missing.

Grandma, from the kids and the grand-dog

When the grandkids sign the card for the dog too, she’ll wear it straight to Christmas dinner.

Mom, whose doodle is the favorite child

If the dog gets first dibs on the turkey scraps, this shirt simply makes the ranking public.

A neighbor who dog-sits over the holidays

She watches your doodle every December, and a thank-you with his face on it beats a gift card.

A fellow doodle mom from the dog park

Since you’ve traded grooming tips for months, a portrait of her pup shows you know exactly which doodle is hers.

You, while untangling the real lights

Wear the tee while you wrestle the actual string of bulbs onto the tree this weekend.

Start her doodle sweatshirt

For a family Christmas card, everyone can wear the same portrait. Our pet Christmas gift ideas page has more holiday picks for dog people.

Doodle mom sweatshirt, hoodie, tee or long sleeve: sizes and fabric

Pick the Comfort Colors 1717 tee for a garment-dyed, 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton shirt in S–4XL. The Comfort Colors 1566 crewneck runs S–3XL and the 1567 hoodie S–2XL; both are 80/20 fleece with a relaxed fit.

Size up one or two for the cozy oversized look most moms want in a Christmas dog sweatshirt. Flat measurements are on the size guide. The Comfort Colors 6014 long sleeve, in S to 3XL, suits holiday-card photos where a hood would get in the way.

Grandkids and little cousins can wear the doodle too, in a 9018 youth tee (XS to XL) or a Rabbit Skins 3326 toddler hoodie (2T to 5/6T).

Order the lights portrait

Shipping window

Expect 1–3 business days to print in the USA and 3–5 business days in transit with USPS tracking. Order by December 5, 2026 if it’s going under the tree. The shipping page has the fine print, and our pet Christmas shirts show other holiday portraits.

Will my doodle’s curls show up?

Yes. The pencil style picks up texture well. Use a sharp, well-lit photo, and avoid ones where the fur blurs into the background.

Can my dog’s name go on the shirt?

Not on this design. It’s a text-free portrait with the lights as the only extra.

Do you draw famous dogs or characters?

We only draw pets that belong to you. Famous social media dogs, celebrities, rappers, public figures, logos, brands, team marks and characters aren’t printed, and orders that include them are canceled and refunded.
