was known for many things in her life, whether that be her dedication to duty, her ability to keep calm and carry or, or her love for the Scottish Highlands.
While the late Queen was a very busy lady, she and owned many throughout her reign.
Although Her Majesty stopped breeding them when she reached a certain age, it was revealed that her son had gifted her two puppies in 2021 to cheer her up during the -19 pandemic.
As reported by The Telegraph, one of the puppies was a corgi called Muick, named after Loch Muick on the Balmoral estate, while the other was a dorgi named Fergus after her uncle who was killed in WW1.
While the late Queen was left devastated when puppy Fergus died just weeks after having him, as a result of a heart problem he was born with, Andrew then gifted his mother Sandy, a new corgi puppy.

The late Queen was said to have loved the dogs and cared for them up until her death in September 2022, when they were then passed into the care of and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, who still live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor.
The dogs have featured on Sarah’s a handful of times, with the duchess keen to continue giving them the same lifestyle they had with the late Queen.
This involves giving them a naughty snack after lunch, something Her Majesty used to reportedly do.
Speaking in Sarah said: “Every day I look at Muick and Sandy and want to say, ‘It’s all right.’”

She continued: “Her Majesty used to give them little bits of digestive biscuits, so after lunch now I’ll crack up a biscuit for them and deliberately make that same noise.”
Sarah made a similar comment in a 2023 interview with Rylan Clark on his Radio 2. She said: “Their tails have gone up now so I think they’re over their grief. They are so sweet
“I think they’ve been trained by her to be so gentle, so when you take a little digestive biscuit and break it like she used to with her little hands… she must’ve put a little biccie in front of them and they gently take it.”
