Historical context

FIAPBT record 867 names Colby's Buddy as the sire of Colby's Rifle and links individual record 857. This reference preserves that exact published relationship, not accepted registry parentage. No date or additional biographical detail is assigned from the parent role. Buddy’s own FIAPBT record names J.P. Colby as breeder and Louis B. Colby and Howard Heinzl as historical owners. It reports a brindle coat and says Buddy was sent to Heinzl in Chicago on 26 September 1942. This is a transfer date, not a birth date. ADBA 400-50 and U.K.C. 276634 are transcribed registration references, not examined certificates. The GrandChamp retrospective says Buddy was raised at the U.S. Coast Guard station on Plum Island, Massachusetts, before later passing to Howard Heinzl. This is a reported historical setting, not a documented birthplace.
