Historical context

FIAPBT record 866 names Colby's Brandy as the sire of Colby's Pupsy and links individual record 16152. This reference preserves that exact published relationship, not accepted registry parentage. No date or additional biographical detail is assigned from the parent role. FIAPBT individual record 16152 explicitly records this dog as male. The named breeder is J. P. Colby. The historical owner is recorded as J. P. Colby. Reported coat: Black brindle. Reported birth: 1930. The source writes 1930-00-00; only the year 1930 is supported, not a complete date. The chain-weight field reads 31#; this notation is retained without an assumed unit or conversion. The catalogue gives registration reference U.K.C. 207- 276; the certificate itself has not been examined. The GrandChamp historical article gives Brandy’s weight as 31 pounds when in good condition. This description is retained separately from FIAPBT’s CHAINWEIGHT notation 31#: the article does not identify the measurement as chain weight or provide a weighing date.

  • Hutton's Billy (Ireland), Hutton's Kit (Ireland), Hutton's Prince (Ireland), Hutton's Speck (Ireland): The January 2011 historical account names these Hutton dogs behind Edwards’ Galtie and Gass, then states that the surviving records go no further.

              Wikimedia Commons identifies this portrait as Colby’s Pincher. FIAPBT public record 5650 displays the same standing portrait: head turned toward camera, three dark flank patches, pale legs and studded harness. The two reproductions support image-to-record matching; their common original and independence are not established.

              Reuse basis: Wikimedia Commons classifies this US historical photograph as PD-US-expired (publication before 1931), citing The Dog Fancier, edited by Eugene Glass. Photographer unknown; circa 1896 is a repository attribution, not an independently established exposure date. The exact original issue/page is not supplied.
