RCMP puppies named in national contest
The RCMP’s newest – and cutest – recruits have finally been named.
Thirteen German Shepard puppies born at the RCMP Police Dog Service Training Centre in Innisfail, Alberta have been named by boys and girls representing every province and territory in Canada.
The centre provides training for all RCMP police dog teams, and is home to a police dog breeding program accounting for 93 per cent of the German Shepherds currently working with Mounties.
After holding a public Name the Puppy contest, the training centre received 16,000 entries.
