Design S0758A at a glance
A silver-edged sheriff star with a tan cougar on a rock at its center — a high-country predator standing in for the unit's dogs. Lettering holds the office name, a founding year, a K9 unit title and a motto. Navy and silver keep it formal, and the tan cat gives the star its life.

About this cougar sheriff K9 star
Not every K9 patch needs a dog on it. Mountain-county units often prefer the cougar — the apex hunter of their terrain — as a symbol of tracking, patience and pursuit, and it sets the team apart from the paw-print patches common elsewhere. In navy, silver and tan the cat stands out clearly without breaking the office's color scheme.
Order it with your office name and K9 unit title, swap the cougar for a shepherd or Malinois head if you would rather show the dogs, or add a handler's call number to the lettering. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Sheriff K9 cougar patch questions
Why a cougar on a K9 patch?
In mountain counties the cougar is the local tracker and hunter, so it stands for the same qualities the unit trains its dogs for — and it makes the patch instantly recognizable.
Can the cougar be swapped for a dog?
Yes. A German shepherd, Malinois or Labrador head redraws in its place at no art charge, keeping the rock or dropping it.
Can we add handler call numbers?
Yes. A call number can go in the unit line; each number is its own version on the quote.
What backing should handlers order for vests?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop panels on most vests and lets the patch move to a winter shell.
How do I request changes to this design?
Use the "mark up this design" tool in the quote form: circle the cougar, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up version attaches to your quote.
Outfitting the rest of the office?
A cougar K9 star covers one specialty. The sheriff designs beyond the cougar rock K9 star cover patrol, marine and court divisions. Comparing embroidered with PVC for kennel gear? The custom patch page that prices a cougar sheriff star at every tier explains builds and backings.
