The RCMP are inviting young people across the country to help name ten German Shepherd puppies born at the Police Training Center.  Sergeant Eric Stebenne says the first rule is the name must have no more than nine letters and two syllables. He adds for this year all the names have to start with the letter G, you have to keep it nice and short since they’ve found over time that those names are best to get the attention of the pups and the deadline to enter the contest is March 5th.

For information on how to enter the contest by mail or online go to their website www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca and click on the puppy picture at the top of the page when it comes up.
