Schoolchildren are being asked to name a litter of detector dogs.
Working biosecurity beagle Aria gave birth to the three boys and three girls in March. They are collectively called G-litter.
They will undergo intensive training to work at ports and airports where they will sniff out food, plants and other items that could pose biosecurity risk to the country.
But before they begin training they need names beginning with the letter G, says Brett Hickman, Ministry for Primary Industries detection technology manager.
