Jake (Kelpie - 38cm sitting, black and tan)

Jake is a really cute realistic large-sized black and tan Australian Kelpie handmade and airbrushed plush toy.  Kelpies are also known as an Australian sheepdog, muster dog or simply called Kelpie.

The Australian Kelpie originated in the 1800s in Australia by crossing Collie breeds from Scotland to create a working dog that could handle the harsh climate. It’s rumoured some wild Dingoes were bred into our mix. I make a wonderful pet and can be used for herding livestock, search and rescue, detection, assistance work and performance dog sports.

Jake measures 38cm/14.9″ in length without the tail or 48cm/18.9″ with the tail, 23cm/9″ in width and 34cm/13.3″ in height to the top of his head or 38cm/14.9″ to the top of his ears.

The stuffing for Jake was made using 30 recycled plastic bottles from regenerated ocean waste.
