Historical context

Colby's Tibbie is the female in FIAPBT 1497. The record names Alexander & Louis B. Colby as breeder and Alexander & Louis B. Colby as historical owner. The source gives birth as 1950-07-21. Rifle and Connie are the reported parents; the coat is black brindle and white. The source also calls her Colby’s Button’s and reports death in February 1961, with no day specified. Morgan’s record names Tibbie as dam; ADBA 500-70 and U.K.C. 314-198 are catalogue references, not independently examined certificates. The book’s public OCR dates an eleven-puppy Dime–Tibbie litter to 9 July 1954 and names Colby’s (Heinzl’s) Peter among it. Its caption for the 1954 litter further reports that Peter later went to George Keefe in Alaska. This traces one named offspring’s later custody without implying that Tibbie also moved there. The same book describes Neblett’s Congo, dated 16 November 1953, as one of twelve puppies from Dime and Tibbie. This is a separate reported litter from the eleven puppies documented in July 1954. Congo’s date belongs to that offspring entry, not to Tibbie’s birth. Dogsfiles 157615 explicitly reports USA birth for Tibbie under the Rifle–Connie parent pair. It lists Freeman’s Susie among her offspring alongside Morgan, Jenny and Cheyenne, adding a named branch to the already documented Dime–Tibbie litter histories without transferring the offspring’s dates or locations to Tibbie.

Colby's Tibbie is the female in FIAPBT 1497. The record names Alexander & Louis B. Colby as breeder and Alexander & Louis B. Colby as historical owner. The source gives birth as 1950-07-21. Rifle and Connie are the reported parents; the coat is black brindle and white. The source also calls her Colby’s Button’s and reports death in February 1961, with no day specified. Morgan’s record names Tibbie as dam; ADBA 500-70 and U.K.C. 314-198 are catalogue references, not independently examined certificates. The book’s public OCR dates an eleven-puppy Dime–Tibbie litter to 9 July 1954 and names Colby’s (Heinzl’s) Peter among it.
