Queen Elizabeth II was famously and deeply devoted to her dogs, especially Corgis, owning over 30 during her reign, along with some Dachshund-Corgi mixes (Dorgis).

Fond of corgis since she was a small child, Elizabeth II owned more than 30 corgis from her accession in 1952 until her death in 2022. She owned at least one corgi throughout the years 1933 to 2018.
Queen Elizabeth II's lifelong affection for dogs was well-known. She owned dozens of Welsh corgis, her favorite breed, and was regularly seen with them loyally by her side. The breed, known for its distinctive short legs and pointy ears, has become synonymous with the monarch.
