Police K9 Paw Print Patch — Order This German Shepherd Shield
Design S1577A at a glance
A royal blue shield in a white merrowed frame, with a German Shepherd head and a paw print as its emblem. Three short lettering lines name the department, the police service and the K-9 unit in white, so the two-color design reads cleanly on a handler’s sleeve or a dog’s harness.

About this German Shepherd and paw print police K9 design
Royal blue and white is about as clear as a police patch gets, and this K9 shield uses that clarity to put the dog first. A German Shepherd head carries the design, with a paw print as a small signature of the working partner. With only two colors, it reproduces cleanly at harness size and translates easily into a subdued version for tactical vests.
Order it as shown or tune it: set your department and unit in the lettering, redraw the shepherd as your own dog, or switch to navy and gold. 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.

Police K9 paw print patch questions
Can you replace the shepherd with our Malinois?
Yes. Send a clear head-on photo and we redraw your dog in the same position at no art charge.
Can we put our dog’s name on a harness version?
Yes. A harness run can carry the dog’s name in place of the unit line, priced separately from the handler run.
Does a two-color patch work for tactical vests?
Yes. It converts cleanly to black and grey or tan and brown with hook-side velcro.
Will the paw print stay visible on a small patch?
Yes. The paw is a bold shape and holds at 2.5 inches; the proof confirms it before production.
How do I mark changes on this K9 shield?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the dog or paw, pin notes on each lettering line and switch colorways. The marked version is attached to your quote.
