Dogged Dogdom was formerly a project of Woodcrest Kennel LLC. Woodcrest is a professional show kennel, breeders of Airedale Terriers, as well as a full service, all breed, dog boarding, grooming and day care facility located in Orford, NH, USA. Sharing special news and announcements about services and show wins is what started out the Dogged Dogdom journey in early 2005. In January of 2006 a photo daily for reader submissions was started with much success. The first incarnation of what Dogged Dogdom would become appeared in January 2008. With regular posting on dog related topics and personal stories, interest and readership grew. Dogged Dogdom officially became its own entity in July 2008 when it moved to its own domain [www.doggeddogdom.com].
The goal of Dogged Dogdom is to share important dog and pet related topics of interest for the purpose of promoting the world of dogs and educating the general public. Regular topics include news stories, recall notices, responsible dog ownership, legislative alerts, industry trends, and training tips and advice, along with the personal stories and accounts that first garnered interest in Dogged Dogdom.
Dogged Dogdom is operated by Rose Atwood.
