The Queen Accidentally Invented a New Dog Breed
The Royal Family doesn't frequently make the news these days for good reasons. The Queen may only need to get back to the fundamentals, like commemorating jubilees or unintentionally creating new dog breeds. People adore stories of that nature. If the internet is any indication, people adore corgis. The Queen is renowned for her small army of corgi dogs. The fact that not all of the Queen's corgis are true corgis, however, is less widely known. Some of the dogs the Queen has owned throughout the years have been of the slightly less regal dorgi breed, which she is credited with creating.
The Queen certainly hasn't ever heard the word "wiener dog," but Pipkin was a dachshund, also known as a wiener dog. One day Pipkin met one of the Queen's corgis, and as nature would have it, the two gave birth to a litter of chubby, adorable puppies. So they continued to breed them. Although they have gained popularity over time, the American Kennel Club claims that they are not an officially recognized breed because they only recognize purebreds.
