Sheriff K9 Squad Patch — Order This Shepherd and Full Moon Design
Design S1287A at a glance
A gold-edged round built around a German shepherd head, paired with a line of pine trees and a full moon in green, gold and tan. Two lettering fields carry the sheriff's office name and a K-9 squad callout, both rewordable. The night-woods scene sets this apart from the usual badge-and-dog layout, which is why handler teams that work rural ground pick it.

About this sheriff K9 shepherd and full moon design
Most K9 patches show the dog and nothing else; this one gives the shepherd a setting. Pine trees and a full moon frame the head, which suggests night searches and backcountry tracking without a word of text. Green and tan carry the woodland tone, and the gold merrowed edge keeps the round reading as official insignia on a uniform sleeve.
Customize it for your squad: set your office name and unit callout in the two lettering fields, redraw the shepherd as your own Malinois or Labrador, or trade the pines for open range 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 stitches until you approve it.

Sheriff K9 squad patch questions
Can the shepherd be redrawn as our own dog?
Yes. Send a clear photo of your K9 and we redraw the head stitch-ready in place of the shepherd at no art charge. Coat markings and ear shape are matched on your proof.
Can the lettering show our office name and unit?
Yes. Both lettering fields restitch to your wording — office name on one, squad or unit callout on the other — and the 4-hour mockup shows the text set on the round.
Does the moon and pine scene work in subdued colors?
Yes. In OD green or tan the moon and tree line read as tone-on-tone shapes, which suits night tactical kit. Preview each subdued version in the markup tool before you request a quote.
What backing do handlers use?
Hook-side velcro is the handler favorite because one patch moves between the duty shirt, the K9 vest and a jacket. Sew-on remains standard for Class A and Class B uniforms.
How do I show you changes to the scene?
Use the markup tool in the quote form: circle the pines or the moon, pin a note describing your terrain, and swap colorways. The marked-up version rides along with your quote.
