Gradhat Basil - Kelpie with Graduation Hat

Basil is a really cute realistic handmade and airbrushed medium-sized red and tan Australian kelpie plush toy with a Graduation Hat.  They are also simply called Kelpie or Australian sheepdog 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. 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.

Basil measures 28cm/11″ in height (to the top of his ears), 23cm/9″ in length without the tail or 33cm/13″ with the tail and 13cm/5″ in width.

The stuffing for Basil was made using 15 recycled plastic bottles.
