INNISFAIL, AB – The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has announced the winners of the 2023 Name the Puppy contest, which was open to children from across the country.

Mounties say the winning names will be given to the first 13 puppies born at the Police Dog Services Training Centre in Innisfail, Alberta, in 2023.

RCMP note they received over 7,000 online entries and they appreciate all the kids and parents who took the time to enter the contest and help give the puppies some super names.

All names had to start with the letter “S”. For entries of the same name, a draw determined the winner.

The winning entries are:
