|  COLBY'S PINCHER AND TIGE. Among the prominent Pit Bull Terriers of the last decade Colby's Pincher and Colby's Tige may be mentioned. The names of these dogs appearing in present day pedigrees are heralded as of exceptional value, and Pit Bull Terrier history will record their owner, John P. Colby, of Newburyport , Mass. ,as one of the leading and most successful breeders in America . Pincher was a 75-pound dog and said to be the best known catch-weight dog in New England, as well as one of the largest game dogs in America . Mr. Colby says Pincher killed or stopped over twenty dogs and never met a dog that could stay with him forty minutes. He was a close descendant of Turk, Pilot and Danger. Tige was a wonderful sire of game dogs, and was himself considered the champion 35-pound dog of America . His greatest battle was over the Connecticut dog, Captain, lasting three hours and twenty-seven minutes, near Hartford , Nov. 26, 1898, Tige being the winner. | |
