About this German shepherd paw print keystone
Canine units are proud of their dogs, and this patch puts the shepherd's head right at the center where everyone sees it. The paw print shield doubles down on the K9 identity, and the earthy green, tan and brown palette suits a sheriff's office uniform far better than a bright police blue. The gold border lifts the keystone outline so it reads cleanly from across a training field.
Order it as shown or tailor it: put your office name and K9 unit lines in the lettering, replace the motto, or redraw the shepherd as a Malinois or Labrador to match your dogs. 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 keystone patch questions
Can the shepherd be redrawn to look like our dog?
Yes. Send a clear photo of your dog's head and we redraw it in the keystone at no art charge — breed, markings and ear set included.
Can we order small versions for the dog's vest?
Yes. A 2.5 to 3 inch velcro version from the same art is a common add-on; it goes on the same quote and prices at the combined count.
Can the lettering lines be changed?
Yes. The office name, sheriff's office line, both K9 lines and the motto all restitch to your wording, shown placed on the proof.
Is a memorial version available?
Yes. We can add a dog's name and service years to the lettering for a retirement or memorial run.
How do I send our changes?
Mark them on the design with the markup tool in the quote form — circle the dog, pin notes, switch colorways. The marked version attaches to your quote.
