Although the queen will always been known for her iconic Corgis, she is dotty about all kinds of dogs. Because she has always been keen on game shooting, she keeps a pack of around 20 Labradors and Cocker Spaniels in her kennels at Sandringham, although they also travel with her to her Scottish residence, Balmoral, when she's on her Summer holidays there from August through October.
The dogs live in wood and mesh metal runs, and because they are working dogs, they are fed and exercised four times a day. The queen names the Cocker Spaniels and Prince Philip names the Labradors, and they have themed sets of names such as hats — Prince Philip has been heard calling out for "Trilby" or "Fedora" before — and Harry Potter references. A royal puppy called Gryffindor = cutest thing ever . . .
Pet food and accessories are provided by three royal warrant holders who have been supplying the queen for at least five years: Armitage, Judge's Choice, and Mars.
