Common Questions

Is this shirt true to size?

Yes. The Bella+Canvas 3001 has a modern, retail-quality fit — not boxy like cheaper blanks. It’s comfortable straight out of the package. If you prefer a relaxed fit, consider ordering one size up.

Will the print crack or fade?

No. We use direct-to-garment (DTG) printing with water-based inks that are embedded into the cotton fibers, not sitting on top. The design stays soft to the touch and holds up through hundreds of washes.

What makes this design different from other Chinese Crested shirts?

Every design in our collection is an original vintage-style illustration — not a stock image or AI clip art. Each breed is drawn with attention to the physical details and personality that owners recognize and love.

Are Toy Breeds good for apartments?

Toy Breeds are ideal for apartment living. They need less space, less exercise, and their barking (while sometimes frequent) is quieter than larger breeds. Most are content with a daily walk and plenty of lap time.
