Several celebrity dog owners who are deemed upper-class are thought to have had a major influence which breeds are considered 'posh'. Examples include TV presenter Ben Fogle's black Labrador
Inca, and, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak's new puppy Nova — a fox-red Labrador. Unsurpisingly, Corgis are also a popular choice among the rich and famous thanks to them being a
firm favourite with the Queen.
Dogs who have also appeared on successful television series have impacted the nation's thoughts on posh pups such as Downton Abbey's Labrador Isis and horticulturist Monty Don's late Golden
Retriever Nigel.
Don't forget about the smaller four-legged friends, Jack Russells, pugs and rescue dogs who have also pulled at people's heartstrings. Boris and Carrie Johnson's crossbreed Dilyn features on
