Validus Canis / Latin, “strong dog”
Apparel for the people who train working dogs.
The brand comes out of a Border Patrol and K9 background in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The designs are about the dog and the handler, and the work they put in together.
Nothing is printed ahead of time. When you order, your shirt gets pressed, packed and shipped. That keeps runs small and means nothing sits on a shelf.
