The University of Georgia has had eleven official bulldog mascots in the iconic Uga lineage.
The Enduring Legacy of Uga
The tradition of the University of Georgia's live bulldog mascot, Uga, is one of the most beloved in college sports. Since the original "Uga" was introduced, a continuous line of bulldogs, each descended from their predecessor and frequently the son of the previous mascot, has proudly served as the symbol of Georgia athletics. To date, this esteemed lineage encompasses eleven distinct dogs, each carrying the revered name "Uga."
Each Uga mascot is known for its distinctive personality and unwavering presence on the sidelines, becoming an integral part of the university's identity and a rallying point for fans.
A Unique Resting Place
A testament to the deep affection and respect the University of Georgia holds for its mascots, deceased Ugas are accorded a unique honor. They are interred in a dedicated mausoleum located near the main entrance at the southwest corner of Sanford Stadium, ensuring their legacy lives on within the heart of the university's athletic grounds. This unique tradition underscores the significant role each Uga plays in the history and spirit of the Georgia Bulldogs.
