Golden Retriever. Every golden has a spot. The good chair, the sunny end of the porch, the exact square of kitchen floor where dinner happens. This one found a deck chair by the water, put his sunglasses on, and is not getting up.

The breed came out of the Scottish Highlands in 1868 - a wavy-coated retriever named Nous and a Tweed water spaniel named Belle, kept for the yellow puppies - and was recognized in America in 1925. It has been one of the most popular dogs in the country nearly every year since. Ask anyone who raises them why: the golden greets the plumber like a lost brother, brings you a shoe when you are sad, and has never once met a stranger.

If you have whelped a litter, shown one, placed one with a family, or simply lived with one for twelve years, you know this dog. Settled in. Certain the day is about him. Correct.

Our own pen-and-ink golden, drawn line by line and set in crystal so the hatching stays sharp under tree lights, with one small splash of color in the glass. It hangs at eye level and reads from the doorway.

For golden people - breeders, rescue volunteers, show families, and everyone whose senior is asleep on the sofa right now.

Faceted crystal, three inches across, printed on a white back so the line work reads from across the room on a lit tree. Red ribbon. White or gold gift box, your call at checkout. Ships free anywhere in the U.S.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.
