Queen Elizabeth II To Stop Breeding Signature Corgis



Queen Elizabeth II has perhaps the most legendary love of Pembrokeshire Welsh corgi dogs. In her lifetime, she has owned more than 30 corgis. Now, with just two corgis left, a palace confidant says Queen Elizabeth II has no plans to breed any more of her beloved dogs.

The Queen reportedly feels too old to care for the four-legged creatures. Advisor to the Queen Monty Roberts told Vanity Fair:

"She didn't want to leave any young dog behind. She wanted to put an end to it."


The Queen received her first corgi dog, Dookie, as a young child. She soon fell in love with the breed and started her epic collection. According to the Telegraph, the Queen still feeds the dogs herself and takes them on daily walks.

Holly and Willow, the last two remaining royal corgis, enjoy the lavish comforts of the royal palace. They are both almost 12 years old and have outgrown their youthful energy. They now enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, making them the perfect companions for Queen Elizabeth II.

Roberts told Vanity Fair that the tone of his conversation with the Queen "concerned" him. He hates to see her corgi legacy end and does not want her to think about dying.
