Demand and price of corgis sky-rockets after Queen’s funeral

Sep 26 2022

The demand for and the cost of corgis have doubled to new heights since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s passing and funeral… and let’s be frank. It was expected.

Pets4Homes, the UK’s largest pet marketplace told AFP that it was currently experiencing over ten times the volume of daily searches for corgis when compared to a week before the monarch’s funeral.

One of the small dogs now sells for over £2,500 for the first time, outranking prices which were reached during the pandemic – a period of time when people were seeking four-legged house companions due to loneliness.

Queen Elizabeth II was well known for her love of the small herding canines, with her last two corgis Muick and Sandy being handed over to Prince Andrew following her passing.

All of the Queen’s dogs took a prominent role in public appearances, even appearing in the James Bond clip filmed for the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

They even made an appearance at the funeral itself, giving their beloved human mother the final goodbye as they start a new life with the prince.
