Thirteen German shepherd puppies being trained at the RCMP Police Dog Service Training Centre in Innisfail, Alta., have been named. This year’s Name the Puppy contest received almost 16,000 entries from boys and girls all across Canada, with a winner selected from each province and territory.
This year, contest submissions had to begin with the letter J and have no more than nine letters.
Jett was the winning entry for the police puppy to represent Saskatchewan and was submitted by Lucas Anthony of Battleford. Each winner receives a photo of the puppy they named, a certificate and plush German shepherd toy from the RCMP. Battlefords RCMP officers Cpl. Melvin Sansome, Sgt. Darcy Woolfitt and Cst. Mike Baker were on hand with their police service dog in training, Jenni, and service dog Diego, to present Lucas with his prizes last week.
