“The prices that the corgi breeders registered touched a record today,” a spokesperson for Pets4Homes, an internet portal for the sale of pets in the United Kingdom, reported on Monday. The average price doubled in the last three days, said this source.
“In the most recent announcements, prices for some corgis break the £2,500 barrier for the first time,” he said.
The site logs a number of daily searches for corgis ten times higher than last week.
These small animals are characterized by their large ears and disproportionately small legs in relation to the length of the torso.
The queen received her first corgi in 1944 at the age of 18.. By the date of her death on September 8, the monarch had two corgis named Muick and Sandy, who in her own way saw her off watching the funeral procession pass from Windsor Castle.
After the death of Isabel II they were adopted by her son Andrés.
