About this shepherd, star and pine bough K9 design
Navy, white and red turn a familiar subject — a shepherd over a star — into something that feels made for a parade or a memorial ride as much as a patrol shift. The pine boughs soften the star and hint at a wooded jurisdiction without adding a full scene. The red merrowed edge finishes it like a flag's border, which is why this one gets picked for anniversary and commemorative runs.
Order it as shown or customize it: put your department, unit line and motto in the five fields, redraw the shepherd from a photo of your own dog, or switch to navy and gold for a more formal look. 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.

Red, white and blue K9 patch questions
Can the shepherd be redrawn as our dog?
Yes. Send a clear photo and we redraw the head with your dog's markings at no art charge, shown on the proof before production.
Can the pine boughs be changed?
Yes. Oak leaves, laurel or palm fronds redraw at no art charge, so the patch fits your region.
Can we use our own motto?
Yes. The motto and every other field — department name, department line, year and unit line — restitch to your wording on the 4-hour mockup.
Is there a duty version without the red?
Yes. Navy and gold or navy and silver builds keep the same layout; preview them in the markup tool before you quote.
Where do I mark changes to this K9 patch?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the shepherd, star or boughs, pin numbered notes and pick a colorway. The marked-up patch attaches to your quote automatically.
Want another K9 design, or a broader starting point?
This page covers one patriotic shepherd design. The police K9 and patrol designs beyond this red-white-and-blue shepherd include shields, rounds and other breeds. If you're comparing embroidered with PVC, or starting from your dog's photo, the patch guide that prices a patriotic shepherd-and-star design by quantity explains builds and backings.
