Historical context

Colby's Jennie (1890s) is the female in FIAPBT 12589. The record names Ed Donahue as breeder and J.P. Colby as historical owner. Galvin’s Pup and Donahue’s Sal are the reported parents. The title’s 1890s is period context, not an exact birth date; this Jennie remains distinct from the later Colby’s Jenny born in 1959. Joseph L. Colby’s 1936 caption identifies Jennie as the dam of Colby’s Tige, with Colby’s Paddy as sire, and dates Tige’s birth to 1896. This published family context belongs to the nineteenth-century Jennie; 1896 is the offspring’s reported year, not a birth date for Jennie.

    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.
