Black and Gold Police K9 Patch — Order This Shepherd and Bone Banner
Design S1598A at a glance
A custom-cut patch stitched entirely in black and gold, with a German shepherd head and a bone-shaped banner giving the outline its character. Three lettering elements — a department line, a K9 unit line and a two-part motto — keep the wording short, so the dog does most of the talking.

About this shepherd and bone banner K9 design
Two colors and one dog: this patch shows how far a restrained palette can go. Gold thread picks out the shepherd's head against a black field, and the bone-shaped banner adds a wink of personality without turning the patch into a cartoon. It's the K9 insignia handlers pick when they want something that looks sharp on a black uniform and still feels like it belongs to the dog.
Make it yours before you order: set your department in the top line, keep or change the motto, add your dog's name as a lettering line, or have the shepherd redrawn as a Malinois, Lab or bloodhound from a photo. 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.

Black and gold police K9 patch questions
Can the German shepherd be redrawn as our dog?
Yes. Send a clear photo and we redraw the head to match your dog's breed, ears and markings at no art charge. You'll see it on your mockup within 4 hours.
Can we add our dog's name to the patch?
Yes. Any lettering element can be reworded, and a name can sit on the bone-shaped banner if you like. Your proof shows the placement before production.
Is a subdued version available?
Yes. Black and grey or OD green builds work for vests. Switch colorways in the markup tool to preview them before you request a quote.
Will two colors look too plain?
Not on this design — gold on black is high-contrast, so the shepherd's features stay sharp. If you'd like a natural tan coat, add it in the markup tool.
How do I submit changes?
Open the markup tool inside the quote form, circle the dog or the banner, pin notes for your wording and pick colors. The marked design travels with your quote.
