The late queen's father, George VI, originally introduced the breed to the royal family in 1933, when he purchased a corgi named Dookie. The dog proved to be so popular with his daughters that the future queen was given her first corgi, Susan, on her 18th birthday. In fact, many of the corgis that the queen had during her reign were direct descendants of Susan.
