Colby's Paddy is the male in FIAPBT 12586. The historical owner is named J.P. Colby. Racine’s Ginger and Neagle’s Nell are the reported parents. This exact Colby identity remains distinct from Charlie Lloyd’s Paddy; a shared Paddy name does not connect the two pedigrees. The individual source does not identify a breeder or birth date for this dog. The Tige plate in Joseph L. Colby’s 1936 book names Colby’s Paddy as sire and Colby’s Jennie as dam of the dog reported born in 1896. This gives Paddy a specific named offspring in the early Colby family; neither the offspring’s year nor its 35 lb pit-weight caption describes Paddy’s own age or weight.

FIAPBT public pedigree record 5652 — Colby's Bunch
FIAPBT pedigree catalog · Catalog record · Accessed
One inspected user-contributed pedigree table has 28 occupied positions; two further currently published Racine Sam ancestor links yield 29 visible PITVU positions because the independently published Mitchell Paddy dam slot remains disputed and is withheld. Linked individual pages belong to the same catalog, not independent confirmation. The ambiguous Colby Rose (1910s) label and Bunch 1909 source birth date are not resolved as historical chronology; no dates or ownership imported. All new parentage remains pending source-reported.

It gives no exact birthday or photograph date. Newburyport identifies the named breeder/owner context; no birth country or birthplace is inferred.
