About this shepherd, bone and paw print K9 design
This K9 patch is built around a German shepherd head with a lighter touch than most: a bone and paw prints give it warmth, and medical crosses add a detail that suits units focused on K9 care and first aid. With only two lettering lines, the dog takes up most of the patch, and the black-grey palette keeps it practical for vests and handler uniforms.
Order it as shown or adapt it: redraw the shepherd as your own dog, add the dog's name on a third line, or change the red accents to blue or 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 unit paw print patch questions
Can you redraw the shepherd as our dog?
Yes. Send a clear head-on or three-quarter photo and we redraw your dog in the same style at no art charge.
Can we remove the medical crosses?
Yes. They can be removed or swapped for stars or a badge, and the proof shows the rebalanced layout.
Can we add the dog's name?
Yes. A third lettering line for the dog's name or call sign fits below the unit line.
Is a blackout version available?
Yes. Blackout and tan-brown builds both keep the shepherd readable, and you can compare them in the markup tool.
Do you make vest-size patches for the dogs?
Yes. Add a smaller size to the same quote; it is cut from the same artwork as the handler patch.
