Summary:
The Queen has been on the throne for
sixty years now, which means it is her Diamond Jubilee year this
year, 2012. That in turn means the media and the citizens of the UK
will pay extra attention to their beloved monarch. And in this case,
also to her dogs. The Queen owns three dogs, three Welsh Corgi's
named Monty, Willow and Holly. They travel with her as often as
possible and she tries to take care of them herself as much as her
schedule allows her. This breed however is an endangered one and had been
out of fashion for a long time. With this jubilee and the extra
attention the Queen receives, so do her dogs and their breed.
Opinion:
I think it is really nice that people
are starting to get more interested in this breed, and perhaps be
able to take it away from that brink of extinction it was nearing.
To be on that brink, to be considered endangered, a dog breed must
have fewer than 300 puppies registered a year. For these Corgi's,
numbers are now rising with 17 puppies in the first quarter of this
year compared to the 10 last year. And just look at those dogs, they
are adorable. I think it would have been a great loss if these dogs
were to have disappeared altogether.

Wow, that’s one adorable dog. But then again I love almost all dogs (only the ones with lots of drool or the bald ones are not cute in my opinion). It surprises me that there are so little dogs of this breed. One would think that only the fact that the queen has three would be enough for at least a couple of hundred people to get one as well.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHow can normal and mortal people possibly have a cute dog like this? This breed is as royal as the people who own them and British people know their place. Good people those Brits. And yes it is quite an adorable dog, this coming from someone who is not too fond of dogs should be enough proof.
