They have become an iconic part of British history since being introduced into the royal family during King George VI's reign.
Corgis and dorgis, a cross between a corgi and a dachshund, have been mixing with the royals since 1933, when the family first welcomed a Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi.
The dog, who was renamed Duke from Dookie, is said to have sparked the Queen's love for dogs, as she has gone on to own at least 30 in her time.
Her passion for pets has been documented in royal photographs throughout the years, with many showing the Queen as a young girl posing alongside her beloved dogs.

Her Majesty, who recently celebrated her Platinum Jubilee, was gifted her first ever corgi, Susan, on her 18th birthday in 1944.
Not wanting to leave Susan's side, the Queen managed to 'sneak' her on her honeymoon with Prince Phillip three years later.
It has been reported Prince Phillip 'loathed' the Queen's dogs because they were "too yappy" - but this didn't stop her from filling Buckingham Palace with them.
Despite not winning over Prince Phillip, three of the Queen's dogs, Monty, WIllow and Holly, won over the nation after making their TV debut alongside Her Majesty and Daniel Craig in a James Bond sketch.
Filmed at Buckingham Palace, the sketch became part of the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony – and has since been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube.
Her dogs have also become the focus of their own animated movie called The Queen's Corgis, which stars Jack Whitehall and Dame Julie Walters as voice actors.
The animated movie provides an insight into what life might be like for the Queen's dogs, and includes mention of the 'Corgi Room', where the dogs sleep in elevated wicker baskets.
Credited for creating the dorgi breed, Queen Elizabeth II is said to be very hands on with her dog and walks them around the Palace grounds every day.
She is known for giving her dogs' unusual names including Bisto Oxo, Whisky, Cider, Spick, Span, Bushy and Brush.
Her Majesty currently has two corgis, one of which is called Muick, a dorgi, named Candy, and recently welcomed a cocker spaniel who has been affectionately named Lissy.
The four-year-old dog marks The Queen's first gundog champion, reports OK! Magazine.
Her new addition means she has reversed her self-imposed year-long ban on new royal dogs.
Gundogs, also known as bird dogs, are hunting dogs who assist their owners in finding and retrieving game.
Lissy, who is listed under the official pedigree name Wolferton Drama, recently won the 91st Kennel Club ocker Spaniel Championship, seeing off 38 competitors to gain the top spot.
