Galvin's Pup appears in FIAPBT individual record 12587. The historical-owner field reads John Galvin. Woburn’s Bucky and Woburn’s Jumbo are the reported parents. The source describes Pup as male and brindle, gives birth as .1889 and chain weight as 32 lb, approximately 14.5 kg. Only the birth year is displayed, with no invented month or day. Jennie and Donahue’s Sal each have a published record naming Galvin’s Pup as sire. The 1997 history describes Galvin’s Prince, sire of Turk, as Pup’s brother; this sibling relationship remains a published historical report.

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.

Louis B. Colby / Diane Jessup — Colby’s Book of the American Pit Bull Terrier (1997), early family recollections and Mag caption
Louis B. Colby; Diane Jessup · T.F.H. Publications · Secondary history · · Accessed
Public book OCR reviewed; original page images and contemporary documents were not independently examined. This is the same 1997 publication as the other Colby-book citations, not independent corroboration. The Mag caption includes 1896 without defining the date type and reports death on 16 August 1910; its bare year is not treated as another birth date. The swimming anecdote and Pup/Prince relationship are family-history reports. No book passages or photographs have been reproduced.
