A gold-edged navy shield with a German shepherd head set on a police shield and a pair of crossed batons behind it, finished in tan and silver.

About this German shepherd and crossed batons K9 shield
K9 handlers want their partner on the patch, and this design gives the shepherd pride of place on a police shield with crossed batons behind it. That layering ties the dog to the department rather than making it a mascot. Navy, gold, tan and silver give the shield a full four-color range, enough to render fur texture and badge metal distinctly.
Order it as shown or change it: put your town and department name in the lettering, swap the shepherd for a Malinois, Lab or bloodhound, or run it subdued for harness patches. 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.

K9 unit crossed batons patch questions
Can you redraw the dog as our K9's breed?
Yes. Send a photo of your dog — Malinois, Lab, bloodhound or any breed — and we redraw it on the shield at no art charge.
Do you make harness-size versions?
Yes. The same art scales to 2.5–3 inch harness patches with hook-side velcro; we simplify fine detail on the proof so it stays clean.
Can the town, motto and K9 unit lines change?
Yes. All five lettering lines restitch to your wording, and any line can be shortened or left off.
Is there a subdued version for tactical gear?
Yes. The shield embroiders in OD green, coyote, wolf gray or blackout; preview each in the markup tool before you quote.
How do I request changes to this K9 shield?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the dog, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. The marked-up K9 design travels with your quote.
