K9 Officer Shield Patch — Order This Silver Dog Head Design
Design S1008A at a glance
A navy shield in just two threads, with a silver dog head at center and a silver merrowed border around it. The lettering runs a police department name, a K9 unit line and a short motto, and every word restitches to your agency. With only two colors it is one of the most restrained K9 designs we offer — it reads like issued insignia, not a souvenir.

About this two-tone K9 shield
A K9 patch doesn't need four colors and a paw print to say what it is. This shield uses navy and silver only, letting the dog head carry the design, which keeps it formal enough for Class A uniforms and quiet enough for plainclothes K9 work. It also scales cleanly, from a 2-inch collar piece to a jacket back, without any redraw.
Make it yours: your department name across the top, your unit's own motto underneath, or the silver swapped for gold if your badges are 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.

K9 officer shield patch questions
Can the silver be changed to gold?
Yes. Gold on navy is a one-click colorway swap in the markup tool, and your quote will reference the version you choose.
Can you draw our dog's actual breed?
Yes. Send a photo and we redraw the head — shepherd, Malinois, Lab or bloodhound — at no art charge.
Can the motto line carry our own wording?
Yes. The department name, K9 unit line and motto all restitch to your exact text.
Is metallic silver thread worth it?
For dress and Class A uniforms, many departments think so — it catches light like a badge. Standard silver-gray thread is more durable for daily vests.
What's the minimum order?
Ten patches. The per-patch price drops as quantity rises, from $20.00 at the smallest runs to $3.00 at volume.
Comparing K9 shields, or the full range?
Two threads and a dog head is the minimalist end of K9 insignia. For something busier, the police patches that go further than the two-tone silver K9 shield include compass, mountain and paired K9 designs. If you're deciding on metallic thread, woven builds or a design of your own, the patch guide for navy and silver dog head insignia covers materials and quantity pricing.
