Arson K9 Patch — Order This Labrador and Mallard Round Design
Design S1303A at a glance
A round fire department patch with a gold merrowed edge, showing a black Labrador with a mallard in flight and a duck decoy. Two lettering lines carry a department name and an arson K9 callout. Black, gold and green give it an outdoors feel that suits a dog-team patch better than a standard Maltese cross.

About this arson K9 Labrador design
Accelerant-detection dogs are often Labradors, and this design leans into that with sporting-dog imagery instead of fire-service symbols. The mallard in flight and the decoy nod to the breed's retriever heritage, which makes the patch a conversation starter at community demos and school visits. It is a fun piece that still reads as an official unit patch once your department name is on it.
Customize it to your team: swap the Labrador for your own dog from a photo, add the handler's or the dog's name, or put a small Maltese cross beside the lettering. 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.

Arson K9 patch questions
Can you redraw our own dog on this patch?
Yes. Send a clear photo — side-on works best — and we redraw your dog in place of the Labrador at no art charge. Coat color and markings are matched on your proof.
Can we add a Maltese cross for a fire-service look?
Yes. A small Maltese cross fits beside the lettering or behind the dog, and your 4-hour mockup shows it placed.
What backing works for a K9 harness?
Hook-side velcro. It mates with the loop panels on most K9 harnesses and vests, so one patch can move between gear.
Can the second line say something other than Arson K9?
Yes — Accelerant Detection, Fire Investigation K9 or your dog's name all fit. Both lettering lines restitch to your wording.
How do I mark up changes to the Labrador design?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the dog, the mallard or the decoy, pin notes and switch colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
