Historical context

Art’s Missy belongs to the documented breeding context of Maurice Carver. Published accounts name Pistol and Miss Spike as her parents and Snooty among her offspring. A reproduced 1976 advertisement places her in that period; her birth date remains unrecorded. Catalogue descriptions disagree on coat and usual weight.

The signed Carver article captions this exact figure as Maurice Carver con Art´s “Missy”. Its embedded original is image046.png; image116.jpg is the browser fallback of the same figure, not an independent publication. The caption links FIAPBT record83, matching the existing PITVU identity carver-art-missy (01M58GZ9BRVJN6SQ0WJ9FD6FHX). Exact source-context identity and original frame were visually reviewed. Photographer, exposure date and earliest publication remain unestablished; attribution is not independent photographic authentication. This is Carver’s/Art’s Missy (record83), not Crenshaw’s Missy.

Mariano Peinado’s signed article expressly authorizes copying and distribution of the article.
