Dogs of Chelsea - the Royal Borough's most Beautiful Residents

Here in Chelsea the cars are flash, the women are thin, the gardens are orange and begonia free... and the dogs are gorgeous!

By far the most popular breed for South Kensington & Chelsea is the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel; they're everywhere. As prevalent as a French bulldog in the Marais. Renowned for their affectionate, almost clingy, nature they are just the right dog for a K&C woman as they fret if left alone for long periods (that rules out working then!). The most popular colouring is the tan and white but all shades abound.

 

Here's a photo of the lovely Scarlet: a King Charles Cavalier so sensitive of spirit that she becomes upset when guests leave.

Of course, the original Chelsea princess is LouLou the black Labrador, spoilt and pampered she can be found being given treats for paw shakes at the Phoenix just off Kings Road, although she weekends in the New Forest.

This adorable and super friendly Pekinese is an early riser and can be seen promenading pre-breakfast. Such beauty.

This little stunner was spotted on the Fulham rd earlier this morning and I surreptitiously took a few shots whilst Mummy had popped into the store. Maybe it would enjoy an afternoon of cuddling chez moi?

 

 

Now, although clearly not dogs, I have to give a special mention to Pushkin and Tolstoy who are, without a doubt, the best looking and sweetest animals in the neighbourhood. They know I love them. They probably wish I loved them less...
