Historical context

McCord’s Spot is named in Amy Greenwood Burford’s 2009 centennial history as the association’s first Pit Bull Terrier stud-book entry, recorded in September 1909. The article identifies Guy McCord, the founder and first president, as the owner. This places Spot in the early registration history of the breed; September 1909 is a registration period, not an inferred birthday. The ADBA’s 2016 institutional history supplies the wider context of McCord, Con Feeley and John P. Colby, rather than a second individual record for Spot.
