Historical context

Bo is the male attributed to J. R. Loposay’s breeding and Finley’s historical ownership, from Loposay’s Dubs and Dot. FIAPBT reports his birth on 2 September 1971. The reported pairing with Honeybunch produced Jeep, Charlie, Holly and Missy, linking the Loposay references with that later family. The different habitual-weight reports and the separate pit weight remain visible with their original units and citations. The 1997 Colby family history names Loposay’s Chita as Bo’s grandmother and gives her birth as 7 January 1963. This adds context for Bo’s earlier Colby–Loposay family, not another birth date for Bo.
