<P> The Uga mascot line first started in 1956 when Seiler brought a bulldog that was given to him as a wedding present by Frank Heard to Georgia 's first home game of the season . Afterwards , head coach Wally Butts asked his permission to use the dog as Georgia 's mascot , and around the same time a college friend , Billy Young , suggested that he name it Uga , a play on the common abbreviation of the University of Georgia , UGA . Since then , every Uga has been owned by and lived with the Seiler family in Savannah , Georgia . Even to this day , Uga is owned by the Seiler family , who take care of him when he is n't acting as the mascot on the field . The Seiler family bathes Uga , clips his nails , and makes sure Uga is looking perfect for game time . They also transport him to and from the events he attends as mascot . </P>
