K9 Handler Hats

Military working dogs are traditionally one rank above their handlers, a custom meant to remind the handler that the dog comes first when it is time to eat, sleep or be groomed. Police K9s get honorary ranks too. The handler's humor follows from that: the dog does the work, the dog gets the rank, and the human drives. These K9 handler hats are written in that voice. MY PARTNER BITES takes its cue from the Handler Bites patches already sold on Etsy, while I OUTRANK NOTHING IN MY VEHICLE and I'M JUST THE DRIVER lean on the rank joke. MY DOG HAS MORE ARRESTS THAN ME is close to a real story: when Yavapai County, Arizona K9 Loki made his first arrest, a drug bust on I-40, the sheriff's office write-up was headlined around the pizza he missed with the kids. HIS NOSE MY CAREER and HE FINDS IT I TAKE THE CREDIT finish the set. K9 HANDLER and K9 UNIT are the plain badges, and MWD HANDLER covers the military side. German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois are the most common military working dog breeds, but nothing here depends on breed. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for the handler in your house, or for anyone who admires a working dog.
