Meet Indy, a real gem of a dog, in more ways than one. Indy is a Welsh Corgi, an belongs to a dear friend of mine. I was lucky to join Indy and Dean for a walk in the lovely Holland Park on Saturday.
Indy is such a little stunner that as we walked through the park, she turned many a head, and attracted lots of admiring glances from passers by. Sturdy and low, with fabulous sandy coloured fluffy coat, immaculately curled tail, perfectly shaped little face and eyes sparkling with bouncy attitude, she is a perfect Corgi. What she has in looks, she doubles in her character, as she is an incredibly charming and lively girl. She was very excited to be out and about, and was trotting along happily, making friends with dogs and children, and perusing the peacocks, which proudly displayed their fabulous plumage to the gathered crowds.
She did have a few naughty turns, and had to be gently reprimanded, but that's only to be expected. Corgis are fiercely intelligent, and as a herding breed, have a mind of their own and like to work independently.
Corgis are an iconic breed in every sense of the word. Not only their looks are very distinctive, but they are also the favourite breed of Queen Elizabeth II, and as such often receive as much of press coverage as the Royal Family themselves. If you have a look at this photo of the Queen and her Corgi, you would not be surprised to see our Indy on her lap, fitting in perfectly.
