Making of a Mascot


The fate of the famed mascot for the University of Georgia, Uga has yet to play out. With the untimely passing of Uga Vll, Russ the bulldog has been standing in on the sidelines. The descendant Uga has yet to be born! They have a litter in the works that won't be due for several weeks. (yes they had sperm stored just in case! ) The owner and breeder of Uga dogs, Sonny Seiler , said that it takes a few months to select the dog that will ultimately be the replacement. "The bulldog must have the exact bone structure and stature." In the meanwhile Russ will do the best he can until some time in October when the heir to the mascot throne will be ready for the job!

  1. Well, it sounds very involved and serious. Did you ever notice that English Bulldogs get all the canine mascot gigs? I think someone should give a Shar Pei a try sometime. Maybe a soccer team. That's my best sport.
