There have been 10 Bulldogs that trace their ancestry back to UGA 1 in 1956.

For the history of UGA the mascot: https://georgiadogs.com/sports/2017/6/16/uga.aspx

In 2008 a BBC documentary, “Pedigree exposed” concluded that bulldogs and other breeds with squat bodies and short snouts may have difficulty breathing and other health problems.

UGA has an air-conditioned doghouse on the sideline with the cheerleaders.  The family who owns the dog is looking at breeding options so UGA XI will be more capable of handling the rigorous duty of mascot.

About Alice DeForest

Sending a smile to brighten your day. Since retiring from a successful real estate career, I am out and about exploring. I live on the SE Coast of the United States, and love the marshes, swamps and beaches of Georgia and South Carolina. Historical sites are also some of my favorite places, and I love sharing them with all of you. I'll do my best not to keep things interesting and bring you along on all my travels.
