RCMP ‘name the puppy’ contest is back

Feb 17, 2021 | 3:21 PM

INNISFAIL, AB – Peter? Paul? Power?

Those could be the names of Canada’s future RCMP police dogs.

The Police Dog Service Training Centre is asking young Canada to suggest names for 13 German shepherd puppies that will be born at the centre this year.

Children are encouraged to be original and imaginative in finding names that will serve these puppies well in their careers with Canada’s national police force.

When thinking of names, it is important to keep in mind that these are working police dogs, not pets.

Winning names will be chosen by the PDSTC staff. A draw will determine the winning entry in the event of multiple submissions of the same puppy name.

Although there can be only 13 winners, names not selected for the contest will be considered for other puppies born during the year.

The children whose suggested names are selected will each receive a laminated 8×10 photo of the pup they name, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP water bottle.
