Ready for the Corps: Marines recruit latest mascot from South Texas
By Sgt. Heidi E.Loredo-Agostini, Recruiting Station San Antonio
-Bella, an English Bulldog, born April 3, was selected to be the next mascot at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Calif. The champion-bred bully will replace Cpl. Molly who will be retired after seven years of service., Staff Sgt. Luis R. Agostini, 6/24/2009
7/30/2009 CASTROVILLE, Texas —
As the Marine Corps seeks to fill its ranks with the most qualified men and women the nation has to offer, its newest diamond in the rough has four legs, snorts when she walks and has a conspicuous under bite.
A three-month-old English Bulldog, from Castroville, Texas, has been selected from an area encompassing the western half of the United States, to assume the duties as the official Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, Calif., mascot.
The champion-bred bulldog was discovered when local Marines heard through word of mouth about a local couple known for their national champion-caliber English Bulldogs. The Marines began working with the breeders and the selection process was finalized in late spring 2009.
“It was indeed the biggest honor for us when the Marines recruited our puppy,” said the breeder, Michelle Rodriguez. “Several of our bully’s have won national competitions, but nothing compares to this honor. I’m sad to see her go, but I know this is for a good purpose.”
Rodriguez, who resides in Castroville, Texas, has owned bulldogs for12years and has been breeding them for nine years. The pup’s father and mother are both national champions. The Rodriguez family plans on attending the pup’s graduation from boot camp. In the meantime, they proudly display their “Marine Parents” bumper sticker on their vehicle.
“The puppy was bred for the Marines,” added Rodriguez. “We wanted to make sure their new mascot would be healthy, with good markings and good personality. There were four puppies in the litter, and the puppy that was chosen definitely stood out from the rest.”
The bulldog has been associated with the Marine Corps since a World War I recruiting poster depicted a bulldog pursuing a German dachshund. The English Bulldog breed is known for its fierce, stocky body and tenacious temperament.

The Marines’ tenacious fighting at Belleau Wood, France, earned them the nickname of “Teufel Hunden” or “Devil Dogs.” The bulldog’s designation as a Marine Corps mascot dates back to 1921 when Gen. Smedley Butler, commanding general of Marine Barracks, Quantico, Va., purchased a pedigree English bulldog as the base mascot and named it “Jiggs.”
The Marine Corps base in San Diego adopted an English Bulldog as its mascot in 1939, and since then, the bulldog has performed duties the Corps sees fit, including community outreach efforts.
The depot held a base-wide competition to name the bully. According to Janice Hagar, deputy public affairs chief, MCRD San Diego, the commanding general selected the name from a substantial list - the name of Belleau Wood or “Bella” for short.
Sgt. Eric R. Snipes, kennel master, MCRD San Diego, has the honor of training the new mascot.
“It’s a representation of the Marine Corps,” said Snipes, speaking of the English Bulldog breed. “We’re going to start off with basic obedience --sit-down, stay and heel. Once we’re proficient in that then maybe we’ll get into the salute and roll over.”
The training will take up to a month, for two hours a day, in 15-minute increments. Snipes said this is one of the highlights of his military career.
“It’s a great honor,” said Snipes. “This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to be able to use the skills that I developed through my five years of handling, training and supervising dogs.”
The current mascot, Cpl. Molly Marine, was the first female to train aboard the depot. The Jefferson, Texas, native was born in March 2002, and became the mascot in October 2002. Molly will turn her leash over to the Castroville pup once she completes boot camp. Like all Marines, the puppy must complete boot camp before she can officially represent the Marine Corps and tend to her duties as the depot mascot. She will train along side male Marine recruits to earn the title of U.S. Marine.
