About this shepherd and crossed keys K9 shield
Most K9 patches stop at a dog's head; this one gives the shepherd a full setting. Pines and a sun put the dog in its patrol territory, the small badge ties it to the department, and crossed keys suggest trust and access — a nod to the building searches K9 teams handle. Navy and gold give the shield the formal weight of department insignia rather than a morale patch.
Customize it for your unit: redraw the shepherd from a photo of your own K9, restitch the unit, motto and service lines, or swap the pines for a skyline or coastline. 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.

Police K9 shepherd shield patch questions
Can you put our dog on this shield?
Yes. Send a clear photo of your K9 and we redraw the shepherd with its real coat and markings at no art charge. The proof shows it before production.
Can we make a version for the dog's harness?
Yes. The same art at 3" with hook-side velcro fits most K9 harness panels, quoted with the handler patches.
Can the crossed keys be removed?
Yes. We can drop the keys, swap them for crossed batons, or put your department badge in their place.
Can we add our dog's name for a retirement patch?
Yes. A name banner fits under the shield or replaces the motto line on a commemorative run.
How do I mark up changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form — circle the dog, keys or pines, pin notes and switch colorways — and the marked-up version attaches automatically.
