The kennels at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk were established by King Edward VII in 1879 to accommodate and breed a hundred dogs, all Labradors.Labradors on the Estate today share with Cocker Spaniels; both of which breeds are used as gundogs by members of the Royal Family. The dog kennel house is always full.
Queen Elizabeth II is very fond of her dogs and names every puppy born in those dog kennels before going on to register them with the Kennel Club.
She also provides a regular supply to Estate gamekeepers for use as working dogs. Every dog on the Sandringham Estate is highly trained on the premises.
The Royal corgis on the other hand do not live in a dog kennel. They enjoy an entirely different lifestyle....
