Historical context

Colby’s Pansy is described in Joseph L. Colby’s 1936 family account as a female owned by John P. Colby and the dam of Pincher and Major by Teddy. These are published historical reports, distinct from accepted genealogy. The 1997 family history’s transcribed registration list names Robinson’s Paddy (AKC 62380, 8 November 1898) and Naimour (AKC 62381, 26 November 1899), both from Bob Tail Bob and Pansy. These are dated offspring references, not Pansy’s birth records.
