In 2007 , Elizabeth II had five corgis : Monty , Emma , Linnet , Willow and Holly ; five cocker spaniels : Bisto , Oxo , Flash , Spick and Span ; and four dorgis ( dachshund-corgi crossbreeds ) : Cider , Berry , Vulcan and Candy . Monty , Willow and Holly appeared in the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony when , in a sketch , Daniel Craig ( in character as James Bond ) arrived at Buckingham Palace to escort the Queen to the event . Monty had previously belonged to the Queen 's Mother , and died in September 2012 . It was reported in 2015 that the Queen stopped breeding corgis so as not to leave any behind when she died . Her final corgi , Whisper , died in April of 2018 . Two dorgis , Vulcan and Candy , are still alive
