Throughout her life, the queen owned more than 30 of the dogs, according to the American Kennel Club. She was 'one of the most prolific and dedicated Pembroke Welsh corgi breeders and ambassadors that the world has ever seen,' the AKC story says.
Queen Elizabeth II: A life with corgis
In its tribute to the queen and her love of dogs, the AKC detailed how the royal family got its first Pembroke Welsh corgi. A breeder brought a litter of puppies to the Duke of York in 1933 and the family chose a dog, which was dubbed Dookie, according to the AKC. Then a second Pembroke Welsh corgi named Jane was given by the breeder Thelma Gray a few years later.
When that dog died, another Pembroke Welsh corgi was given to then-Princess Elizabeth, who was 18, as a birthday gift. That dog, which would be named Susan, became the common ancestor for all of the queen's dogs,"an incredible genetic legacy," the AKC wrote. The death of her dog Willow in 2018 was the last tie to Susan, apparently among the 14th generation of Susan’s descendants, the AKC wrote.
After 2012, the queen reportedly said she didn't want to breed any more of the dogs because she “didn’t want to leave any young dog behind.”
