About this golden retriever K9 badge
Retrievers work detection, search and comfort roles in many departments, and a patch that shows the actual breed means a lot to handlers. Here the dog carries a key — a nod to the access and search work K9 teams do — inside a badge outline that keeps the design formal. The gold coat against navy stitches with real warmth, which is why this one does well at school visits and community events.
Order it as shown or adjust it: set your town and unit line in the lettering, update the year, redraw the retriever from a photo of your own dog, or replace the key with a badge, paw or ball. 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 retriever patch questions
Can you redraw the retriever as our own dog?
Yes. Send a clear photo and we redraw your K9 holding the key — or any object you choose — at no art charge. The 4-hour mockup shows the portrait on the badge.
Can the lettering carry our town and unit?
Yes. All four lines restitch to your wording — town, police line, year and K9 unit line — and the proof shows each in place.
Can we add the dog's name for harness patches?
Yes. A harness version can carry the dog's name on a lower line; quote it as a separate small run from the same art.
Does this patch work for a comfort-dog program?
Very well. Change the K9 unit line to comfort dog or therapy K9 and the friendly portrait does the rest.
How do I send changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the retriever or key, pin notes on the lettering and try colorways. The marked version attaches to your quote.
