Traveling through the state of Georgia you can expect to see the flags and variety of monuments displayed by the huge fan base for the Georgia Bulldogs.

The University of Georgia and their much-loved mascot UGA,  an English Bulldog brings in high fan attendance in the South East Conference for college football.

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

With over 30 years experience in various phases of the real estate industry, I would like to have the opportunity to share some of the knowledge, opinions, and fun things with you. I have also had the opportunity to live in all four corners of the US . I am now a settled empty nester, working less hours which allows me the time to write this blog and travel. My hobby is exploring Coastal Georgia and South Carolina. The historic sites are fantastic but my favorite outings are in the swamps viewing the wildlife and nature.
