The most popular K9 designs fall into a few families: a portrait of the dog with its name and badge number, a paw-shaped cut-to-shape coin, a K9 skull or working-dog silhouette over a thin blue line, and a unit coin naming every dog in the program. Retirement and end-of-watch coins add service dates; comfort-dog and therapy-K9 coins usually go softer, with a collar, a friendly portrait, and the department name.
Cut-to-shape paws, translucent enamel, and printed photos are all available at coin scale. See department examples on our police K9 challenge coins page.
