Historical context

Jack White’s Teddy is named as Pincher’s sire in the Colby family account. Joseph L. Colby’s 1936 chapter reports Jack White as his historical owner and places his recorded activity in the 1890s. The same 1936 Pincher chapter names Colby’s Major as another puppy from Teddy and Pansy’s litter. This identifies a second named offspring in the family account, beyond Pincher, without changing the source-reported ancestry or Teddy’s own dates.

  1. Historical owner and period

    Source-reported

    The 1936 account identifies the owner as Jack White of Salem, Massachusetts, and describes Teddy’s activity around Boston in the 1890s. Salem identifies the owner’s locality, not a demonstrated birthplace or rearing location for the dog.

  2. Reported birth year

    Source-reported

    The individual record gives 1891 as the birth year, without a day or month. This is a reported year, not a verified registry birthday.

    Source · world-63174-facts
  3. Reported weight; category unspecified

    Source-reported

    The record lists about 16 kg; its original value is 15.88 kg (35.01 pound). It does not identify a chain or pit category, so this value is kept separate from those measurements.
