Boudreaux’ Blind Billy (Heinzl) is the male in FIAPBT record 4091, with Howard Heinzl named as breeder and Boudreaux as historical owner. The coat is explicitly given as buckskin. Dibo and Minnie are the reported parents, identifying this dog within the Heinzl–Tudor family. The catalogue describes him as a foundation animal behind Boudreaux’s Eli family; that historical line description is not a measured genetic percentage. Stratton recalls Boudreaux’s close attachment to Blind Billy. The interview reprint dates Boudreaux’s acquisition of Blind Billy from Earl Tudor to 1953; the original interview date is not established. The interview reprint reports 1952 as Blind Billy’s birth year, without a month or day; this remains an attributed recollection, not a verified registry date. Dogsfiles 155871 supplies USA birth, but its FLOYD BOUDREAUX breeder credit and SAND & TAN colour differ from FIAPBT’s Heinzl and buckskin. The same Dibo–Minnie parents identify this male; both source versions remain visible.
