Parker is a really cute realistic handmade and airbrushed lying red and tan Australian kelpie plush toy. They are also simply called Kelpie, Australian sheepdog or muster dog and are well known for being loyal, keen and friendly dogs. 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. Its rumoured some wild Dingoeswere 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. Parker measures 40cm/15.7 in length from the end of the tail to the front paw or 29cm/11.4 from the end of his torso to his head, 22cm/8.6 in width and 23cm/9 in height to the top of the ears or 20cm/7.8 without the ears. The stuffing for Parker was made using 17 recycled plastic bottles from regenerated ocean waste.
