See New Zealand Collie Sheepdog Statue, Lake Tekapo
At the southern in of Lake Ekapo and close to the Church of the Good Shepherd is a well-known bronze statue of a New Zealand Collie sheepdog. The statue was commissioned by Mackenzie Country residents in recognition of the indispensable role of the sheepdog in their livelihoods. The sculptor was Innes Elliott of Kaikoura, with a dog called Haig, belonging to a neighbour, being the model. Elliott reported the sculpting process took approximately fifteen months. Clay for the model came from the insulator works inTemuka, with a plaster cast of it made and sent to London in 1966, where the statue was cast.
