Etymology

The term 'doggoning' derives from the root word 'dog,' which has a long history in the English language, originating from the Old English 'docga.' This term was used to denote a specific breed of dog known for its strength and loyalty. The suffix '-ing' is commonly used in English to form gerunds or participles, indicating the action associated with the noun. Doggoning has become a more specialized term as dog ownership and training evolved, particularly in contexts related to hunting, retrieval, and tracking. Over time, as various breeds have been developed for different abilities, doggoning has come to represent the actions involving trained dogs in these pursuits. Early references to dog tracking in literature date back several centuries, indicating the importance of dogs in both labor and companionship roles.
