The Daily Beast - Name the RCMP Puppy 2013 - February 20, 2013

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police needs help in naming a handful of their newest (and cutest) recruits!

 

The Canadian Press

INNISFAIL, Alta. - The RCMP are looking for help to name some recruits who haven't even been born yet.

Young Canadians 16 and under are invited to submit suggestions for 10 German shepherd puppies expected soon at the RCMP's police dog training school at Innisfail, Alta.

The names must serve for either a male or female pup, can have no more than nine letters and must be one or two syllables.

They must also start with the letter F.

Contestants must print their name, age, address, telephone number and the suggested name on a postcard and mail it to the training centre by March 22.

The Mounties are reminding participants that the names must be fitting for a dog in police service.

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

I think the name 'Faithful' ..Faith for short, would be an escellent name for a beautiful pup like this. Its is kind of appropriate, dont you think?
