My guess is that the decision is similar to the way both breed. UGA - concerned only w/ the look of the mascot. They inbreed, and the dogs are unhealthy and die young.

We don't replace them every few years, though. This will only be the third since 2001.
He has been serving since 2009. 6 years of being a mascot, and he will be turning 10 later this year. He deserves a chance to be a regular dog. Jak is taking over at 6 months, and will likely serve for 6-8 years before his son will take over.
