On a Lighter Note

July 30th, 2008

Did you know Queen Elizabeth II is the reigning Corgi fan, more specifically Pembroke Welsh Corgis?  It is speculated that corgis have been loyal friends to the royal family since the 9th century.  Corgis are known to be highly intelligent, loyal, and territorial.  “A big dog in a small dog’s skin.”

Each corgi has its own unique meal, suited to its unique tastes.  Still, too bad K9 Cuisine doesn’t ship to England : P

“58) The Queen has owned more than 30 corgis during her reign, starting with Susan who was a present for her 18th birthday in 1944. A good proportion of these have been direct descendants from Susan. The Queen currently has five corgis, Emma, Linnet, Monty, Holly and Willow.

59) The Queen also introduced a new breed of dog known as the “dorgi” when one of Her Majesty’s corgis was mated with a dachshund named Pipkin which belonged to Princess Margaret. The Queen currently has four dorgis, Cider, Berry, Candy and Vulcan.

60) As well as corgis and dorgis, The Queen also breeds and trains Labradors and Cocker Spaniels at Sandringham. There is a special Sandringham strain of black Labrador founded in
1911.”
