A whimsical meditation on Corgis today in The Telegraph today informs us that interest in the Royal dogs is getting a Jubilee spike.

"Numbers looking for the Pembroke Welsh corgi puppies – the Queen’s favourite – have increased by 37 per cent in the past four months; some 5,783 searches for the breed since the start of the year. The Kennel Club also informs us that registration of Pembroke Welsh corgi puppies leapt in the first quarter of this year — to 17."

Some way to go, then.
