Charming And I
1889-1897 (retired to England).
Charming And chosen for his ability to tolerate bands and children, negative reactions to reds and tigers (the symbols of Harvard and Princeton rival schools respectively), and Graves (?) Cleaning dogs and calling them "Handsome Dan." Soon, And follow Graves everywhere around the campus, including sporting events. The students quickly adopted Dan as Yale's mascot. After Graves graduated and returned to England, Dan lived on campus with his brother. Before the soccer and baseball games will begin, Handsome Dan establishes a tradition and dynasty with a lead on the field. One newspaper reported: "He is a big white bulldog, with one of the biggest faces of dogs of this breed (English) ever brought". This is not an exaggeration, because Handsome Dan is one of the best specimens of his breed in America, and then won the first prize at the Westminster Dog Show and at least three other first prize bands in the United States and Canada. According to Hartford Courant, "In his personal appearance, he looks like a cross between a crocodile and a horned frog, and he is called handsome by metaphysicians under compensation law.The title comes to him, he never looks for it.He is always brought to the game with a rope, and the Harvard football team for years owes its sustainable existence to the fact that the rope is held. "The Philadelphia Press reported that" the favorite trick is to tell him to 'Talk to Harvard.' She will bark violently and work herself into the physical stimuli of anger that dogs have never dreamed of. And that's weird for himself in one thing - he'll never hang out with anyone but the students. And planted himself stronger in the hearts of Yale students than any mascot ever done before. "Charming Dan crossed the Atlantic to join his old master in 1897 and died in 1898. The tomb has Dan filled and returned to him to be shown at Yale in the old gymnasium, when it was torn down, And I was sent to the Peabody Museum for reconstruction. I am now in a glass case enclosed in one of the trophy chambers at Payne Whitney Gymnasium at Yale, where, according to Stanton Ford, "he is the eternal treasure keeper who proves the generation of Yale athletic glory." Andrew Graves died of tuberculosis on February 18, 1948 , in Westbury, Long Island.

Handsome And II
1933-1937 (died of a broken leg).
After a 35-year interval, Handsome Dan II was purchased with money donated by the new student class, and awarded to the Ducky Pond trainer. Handsome And II was kidnapped by Harvard students the day before the 1934 Harvard-Yale football game, and Yale's students were concerned with photographs of herself happily sitting at the foot of John Harvard's statue at Harvard Yard, eating a snack. He died of a broken bone obtained from a leap. (Handsome Dan II is now in a closed glass box at the Yale University Visitor center on Elm Street.)
Charming And Ill

Hands And IV
1938-1940 (due to injury) Handsome And IV had his spine fractured by car early in his tenure, leaving his hind legs paralyzed. Until he finally died in 1940, a bulldog named Bull served in his place, becoming Handsome Dan V.

Charming And VI
1947-1949 (died mysteriously by the age of 2).
Charming Dan VI was eight weeks old when he took on the role, but died at the age of two. It was reported that he died for fear of fireworks at the Yale-Harvard match, or was embarrassed by seeing the Yale team lose to Princeton and Harvard that same year.
Handsome And VII
1949-1952 (retired due to emotional instability) Charming Dan VII donated to football coach Herman Hickman at the age of 3 years but he proved to have a bad temper, which is more suitable for him in the next position as a supervisor in a Florida estate.
Charming And VIII
1952 (retired due to emotional instability) Up to this point, Dans Charm has lived in Yale Boathouse and was treated in a rather haphazard manner. The Dan VIII, however, is owned by assistant soccer manager Tom Shutt, ushering in a new era of family membership for office holders. Nevertheless, he had to retire after just two games due to his intense discomfort with his public appearances.
Charming And IX
1953-1959 (died of acute kidney disease) It is important to fall from the dock at Yale Boathouse and almost drown (justifying the hypothesis that bulldogs can not swim, because of their physical distinctiveness); some contemporary news reports say that he must be made aware after his head is embedded in the mud. He also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in November 1956. Danny was born September 11, 1953 and owned by John E. Sanders, Assistant Professor of Geology, having previously been held by the physical. educational instructor, Alfred E. Scholz and Varsity Crew Coach Jim Rothschmidt.

An impressive £ 74, beloved family pet and the best bulldog title winner at the Cape Cod Kennel Club convention show, he was instrumental in leading the Yale football team to season 9 and 0 in 1960. He spent several years traveling to New Haven, CT, from Dobbs Ferry, NY, before his retirement. Her registered AKC kennel name is "Bayside Woodnought." He became the father of Ch.

Charming And XII

The puppeteer behind a dog dragonfly is Rod Shepard. A group of students took Bingo back to their owners and held a press conference for his return.
Charming And XIII
1984-1995; 1996 (retired because of old age.)
"Maurice", owned by Chris Getman, is probably the most important of the Charming Dans. He served in the office longer than Dan Handsome; he is the only office holder out of retirement to serve again, due to the death of his successor; and he appeared in Sports Illustrated, in 1989. His patience with the boredom of posing for professional photographers also served him well as he posed for Yale's 1991 game, brochure and card game, wearing Santa Claus's hat and hat. She also appeared in swimming meetings, dressed in swimsuits. Her passion for Yale proved in many ways: she would sing along with the Yale fight song (at least the "wow wow bow" section); he will "play dead" when asked if he is better off dead or joining Harvard; and he lost his normally benign nature around the opposing team's mascot, launching an attack on the Princeton tiger mascot and the Brown University bear mascot. (There was also an unfortunate incident involving a horse policeman who resulted in him being expelled from the Harvard-Yale game, and Halloweens a bit sensitive.) He died in 1997, just before the age of 14.
Hands And XIV
1995-1996 (died of a heart attack) "Whizzer" aka "Hetherbull", also owned by Chris Getman, donated by Yale alumnus and Bob Hetherington bulldog breeders and is the descendant of 52 times the best winner in the Hetherbull Arrogant Frigott event; unfortunately, he has a very hyperexcitable temperament that he died at the office from a heart attack, and was replaced by his predecessor and housemate.
Hands And XV
1996-2005 (unknown death) "Louis", also donated by Bob Hetherington and owned by Chris Getman, named after three people named Louis, including football coach Carm Louis Cozza. He died at the office in January 2005 of a possible heart attack.
Hands And XVI
2005-2006 (retirement).
Handsome And XVI was chosen on April 26, 2005. Mugsy Rangoon, the Bulldog of Hamden, Connecticut, was chosen by a five-person panel for his gregarious personality, large size (69 pounds), good health, and his ability to handle the Yale Marching Band which is hoarse. At the audition, Mugsy got great support by focusing on the red blanket (representing Harvard) versus the stuffed tiger (representing Princeton University). "We beat Princeton three out of four years," said Jeff Mroz, Yale's quarterback. "We want to beat Harvard."
Mugsy is owned by Bob Sansone, a high school teacher in North Haven.
At Harvard-Yale His first game in 2005, Handsome Dan XVI was stolen briefly by a pair of Harvard students, in response to a Yale student who stole a Harvard flag and ran across the field back to the Yale side with it. Both lured him to the Harvard student section of the Yale Bowl as he chewed a toy depicting a Harvard football player.
