The historical owner is recorded as J. P. Colby. Reported coat: Red. Reported birth: 1920. The source writes 1920-00-00; only the year 1920 is supported, not a complete 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. This is the limit reported by that account, not proof that no earlier ancestry can ever be found. · Sporting Dog Journal, January 2011 — historical Colby account, printed pages 18–19
