K9 Training Unit Patch — Order This Leaping Shepherd Shield Design
Design S1690A at a glance
A green and tan shield with a dark green border, showing a German shepherd leaping over a star. Lettering carries the unit name plus K9, training and tracking lines, so the patch spells out what the team does. The field palette suits outdoor training grounds and tracking work, and every line restitches to your own unit.

About this K9 training leaping shepherd shield design
Where a head-on portrait shows the dog, a leaping pose shows the work, and that is why training and tracking units favor it. The shepherd clearing the star suggests drive and athleticism, and the green and tan palette looks at home on field uniforms and kennel jackets. Dedicated training and tracking lines make the patch specific to a program rather than a generic dog patch.
Order it with your unit name and the disciplines your dogs work, swap the shepherd for a Malinois or bloodhound, or shift the palette to navy for patrol wear. 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 training unit patch questions
Can we list our own disciplines on the patch?
Yes. The training and tracking lines restitch to any disciplines — narcotics, explosives, patrol, search and rescue — or to your unit name.
Can the leaping dog be a different breed?
Yes. Malinois, Dutch shepherds, labs and bloodhounds all redraw into the leaping pose from a photo, at no art charge.
What backing works on K9 vests?
Hook-side velcro, so patches move between vests as dogs rotate. Trainer shirts usually take sew-on.
Is there a version for patrol uniforms?
Yes. A navy and gold colorway matches most patrol shirts, and it can be ordered alongside the green field version.
How do I send changes to the design?
Use the markup tool beside the quote form to circle the dog, pin notes and test colorways; your marked design accompanies the quote.
