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.

Exact subject metadata, matched by name and explicit Loposay's Dubs / Loposay's Dot parent context. The field Country of Birth explicitly states USA; this is not inferred from an owner, surname or domain. Country of Standing also states USA, but is not recast as country of rearing. Contributor-reported, independence and historical documentation unestablished. Chain and pit weight are separate source categories; preserve prior differing FIAPBT reports without silent correction. Original displayed measurements: {"chain": "22.68 kg (50 pound)", "pit": "19.5 kg (42.99 pound)"}. PITVU retains source kg values and rounds the approximate public metric display. Other source colour wording and conflicting versions remain attributable. Catalog creation 1970 defaults are not birth dates. This citation is not a photograph reuse licence.
