An increasing number of people are showing an interest in corgi breeds after a long period of “worrying decline”, the organisation said.
…
“It is a wonderful tribute to the Queen that the popularity of her chosen breed and its cousin, the Cardigan Welsh corgi, has increased in her Diamond Jubilee year, which will have raised people’s awareness of the breeds.”

In a file picture taken on October 15, 1969 Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II arrives at King’s Cross railway station in London with her four corgi dogs after holidays in Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
If I were a Queen, I would travel with no less than 12 corgis.
ok she really is perfect
They’re like “I can taste those royal cookies in your pocket”
corgis, not stickies, kate. CORGIS. MAKE MOAR ROYAL CORGIS.
Angus lives in Everett, is 12 years old and is fairly unimpressed with all this incessant yapping about the royal wedding. We caught up with him in between naps to ask a few questions:
Q: Do you plan on getting up at 3 a.m. to watch the wedding?
A: Madam, I’m 12 years old. I don’t even get up to wee at that hour.
Q: Any other plans for celebrating the event?
A: I do always enjoy the chance to stretch my legs — I’ve heard all the jokes, so don’t bother — so perhaps we’ll go for an outing and I can sniff out that lovely bichon down the street or possibly come across those pugs at the playground. Always good fun to be the tallest on the grass.
Q: Will you be enjoying a special meal?
A: I could rub my paws together and wish for some fancy-pants kibble or liver-flavored tea cakes, but that’s not likely to happen.
Q: What if the new royals raise Portuguese water dogs instead of corgis?
A: Oh, blast. I’m so over that breed!
Q: If you were attending the wedding, what would you wear?
A: Dog sweaters can really cramp a corgi’s style. They are also decidedly unflattering to our physique. I would go with a simple ruff.
Q: Any advice for the newlyweds?
A: Stick with raising corgis. They are far cuter than kids.
“Stick with raising corgis. They are far cuter than kids.” - BEST ADVICE EVER
Freeview TV set a Guinness World Record for world’s largest Canine Cake for their Royal Wedding Corgi Cake. It was made with 20kg of liver dog food (including dried liver, chicken and beef steak), 25 cloves of garlic, 30kg of wholemeal flour, fish oil, and 120 eggs. Read more about it here.

A cake made in the shape of a corgi… for corgis… this must be some sort of corgiballism.
