Border Collie owner t-shirt with a witty morning routine statement and coffee cups framing an illustration of a happy border collie.
The story behind this design
This design captures the real rhythm of a border collie owner's day. Bold, distressed white lettering reads first i drink coffee then i play with my border collie, arranged in an arc above and below a charming illustration of a border collie sitting contentedly between two steaming coffee cups. The design has a vintage vibe—think 1970s aesthetic—with horizontal striping in the background behind the dog and cups, creating a retro poster feel. The border collie itself is rendered in a friendly, engaging style with expressive features and alert posture. The black shirt, white line-work, and aged texture throughout give it a worn-in, authentic character that feels lived-in and genuine rather than trendy.
Who it's for
Coffee-loving border collie owners, particularly those with active morning routines and dogs that demand early playtime. Perfect for energetic pet parents who identify with the humor of needing caffeine before their dog's endless enthusiasm kicks in. Great as a gift for someone notorious for not being a morning person but having a border collie that doesn't care—or for any dog lover who appreciates designs that combine humor, relatable lifestyle moments, and breed pride.
