Tudor’s Spike is the red male listed by FIAPBT as bred and historically owned by Earl Tudor, from Dibo and Gordon’s Red Lady. The same catalogue family places him as sire of Baby with Black Widow. Jeff is another reported offspring of the Dibo/Red Lady pairing; a shared parent pair alone does not establish that these dogs came from the same litter. The catalogue’s title is not used to infer a birth date or genetic verification. Stratton’s 1981 book lists Tudor’s Spike at a historical pit weight of 43 lb and explicitly identifies Dibo as his sire. This is the book’s measurement category, not an everyday or current weight; the entry is distinct from Ritcheson’s Spike, Bambi’s sire.
