K9 Bear Crossed Keys Patch — Order This Tan and Olive Round Design
Design S1550A at a glance
A round patch in subdued tan, brown and olive with a tan merrowed edge, built around a bear standing over a pair of crossed keys. An agency name runs around the ring, a bold K-9 mark identifies the unit, and a division line completes the lettering. The earthy palette is unusual for K9 patches, which tend toward black and gold, and gives this one a field-ready look.

About this bear and crossed keys K9 round
Most K9 patches put a dog in the middle. This design uses a bear — power and protection — above crossed keys, the traditional symbol of trust and access. The K-9 lettering does the job of naming the unit, which leaves the art free to say something about character. In tan, brown and olive it is effectively subdued, a natural fit for handlers who work in field uniforms.
Order it as shown or customize it: letter the ring with your agency and division, add a dog alongside the bear, or switch to a full-color black-and-gold build for dress uniforms. 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.
