World’s First “Must Love Dogs” Dating Site Celebrates 8th Anniversary

This year marks the 8th anniversary of the first dating site in the world for people who are so passionate about dogs that their main criterion for choosing a potential mate is that they must love dogs.

I founded Doglover.biz on 4th February, 2006 after having a Eureka moment when I discovered there were many people like me who would only date others who shared their love of dogs.

I noticed how warm and friendly fellow dog lovers were when I bumped into them and their dogs whilst out walking my dogs or on visits to the vet. It was as if dog lovers were a breed apart from other members of the human race. Just as I felt a special connection to dogs I felt a similar connection to their owners too.

My faith in the concept of creating a dating site that would enable dog lovers to meet and form long lasting relationships was rewarded twice over.

Doglover.biz quickly attracted the attention of thousands of dog lovers all over the world as well as the media and I was invited as a guest on TV and Radio shows to talk about my “must love dogs” dating idea..

Then five years ago I met my partner Angela on Doglover.biz who of course shares my love for our Italian Spinone, Findlay, Ragdoll cat Snuggles and a horse called Ruby.

When my friends found out I had met Angela on Doglover.biz they thought the reason for me creating the site was to find someone for myself! I’d just like to make it clear that Doglover.biz is not for my own personal use and anyone can join – but they must love dogs!

Doglover.biz is free to join and review other members’ profiles.
