      Photograph source · Reuse basis

      The1936 book plate explicitly labels the seated dog Colby’s Bunch and gives June1909 as whelping month, Pincher as sire, Nell as dam and JohnP.Colby as breeder/owner. These match the existing Bunch profile, not the photographed modern dogs named Bunch. Exposure date and photographer remain unknown; whelping date is NOT the photograph date. Identification is attributed to the caption, not independently authenticated. Source-page JPEG SHA256739de50faa13cf30b852a65f659f7768a8d11dcf2a7b8e068e71750629fa38e9 retained; exact crop x285/y1048/625x980 preserves all dog/head/feet and the two-line printed caption.

        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. The existing PITVU identity is separately source-reported; the photo does not verify parentage. FIAPBT reference: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?criterio=5650

        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. PITVU relies on this documented repository classification, not on permission from FIAPBT or the uploader. No contemporary copyright or conflicting attribution was identified in the inspected references.
