Background

On 22^nd December 2012, eight Springer Spaniel pups were born to drug detection dog, Maya. The litter of four males and four females are known as "B" Litter, which means all of their names will begin with the letter "B".

One of these pups will be called Bryson, in memory of the late Detective Inspector Bryson Anderson who was killed on duty in December 2012.

The other seven need names and we are holding an online auction to name these pups. The auction will raise money for NSW Police Legacy and help us to help the families of deceased NSW Police Officers.

This is your chance to name a police puppy! Whether you are an individual or organisation, we'd love you to get involved and place a bid for the puppy you would like to name.

Yeah it is...... I think you will find the list of names not to be used are already other dogs still in active service so therefore they can't have 2 dogs with the same name
