Historical context

De Soto’s Kager is the male in FIAPBT 3717, with De Soto as historical owner. Armitages Palvo and Armitage’s Lilly are the parents named in the source. Black Spider’s individual record names Kager as sire alongside Brown’s Crazy as dam. This places the Palvo–Lilly branch behind Black Spider and Blond Scratch in the published family. The same individual pedigree places Clark’s Tramp, also called Armitage’s Kager, three generations back through Armitage’s Lilly and Clark’s Sport. In this source the earlier Kager is an ancestor, not another name for De Soto’s dog. The individual World Pitbull Database record explicitly reports USA birth.

            Joseph L. Colby, The American Pit Bull Terrier (The News Publishing Co., Sacramento,1936), captioned Bunch plate. Photographer not named. Complete source-page JPEG retained; PITVU extracts the whole photograph with its original caption, without AI, retouching or enlargement.

            Photograph source · Reuse basis

            The1936 book plate explicitly labels the seated dog Colby’s Bunch and gives June1909 as whelping month, Pincher as sire, Nell as dam and JohnP.Colby as breeder/owner. These match the existing Bunch profile, not the photographed modern dogs named Bunch. Exposure date and photographer remain unknown; whelping date is NOT the photograph date. Identification is attributed to the caption, not independently authenticated.

De Soto’s Kager is the male in FIAPBT 3717, with De Soto as historical owner. Armitages Palvo and Armitage’s Lilly are the parents named in the source. Black Spider’s individual record names Kager as sire alongside Brown’s Crazy as dam. This places the Palvo–Lilly branch behind Black Spider and Blond Scratch in the published family. The same individual pedigree places Clark’s Tramp, also called Armitage’s Kager, three generations back through Armitage’s Lilly and Clark’s Sport. In this source the earlier Kager is an ancestor, not another name for De Soto’s dog. The individual World Pitbull Database record explicitly reports USA birth.
