sure! I do have some photos of him I took years ago on a walk. https://beautiesmine.tumblr.com/post/184753888989/unfortunately-when-i-was-young-i-lost-someone

Isn't he so handsomes! If you'd like to see what he looked like new, his brand is 'Douglas' and I believe his tag name was 'Chase', so 'Douglas Chase Border Collie' on ebay or what have you will reap the same plushie! You could also though just look up 'Douglas plush' and see a wonderland of delightful beautiful plush. I had a lot of plush by that brand as a child. I think it's a great example of a specific era of patterning for children's toys... a golden era in my humble opinion (and I collect vintage plush so I like to think there's some context!!)

He used to be very fluffy-wuffy, of course now his fur is quite matted, flattened, thin! But I think the kinkiness makes him look distinguished and svelte... shows off his long neck and deep chest! I consider him such a gold standard of playable plush. He's so floppy and posable, his pattern is elegant and simplistic, without fussy detail, but a strong silhouette. The shape of his back legs/haunches always astounds me, such an inspiration. His paws are simple, without thread sculpting to distinguish digits, and no pads on the bottoms. By comparison, I think plush by Folkmanis for instance go a little too hard on the detailing and lose personality or style. I'm not into airbrushing either...

He's doing as well as ever, he's so well-made that, other than the fur gradually thinning, he's never lost an eye or popped a seam... he still feels robust and stands up nicely!
