About us

DogWorld grew out of a simple but clear idea:

to create a dog event we would want to visit ourselves – responsible, high-quality and with genuine respect for people and dogs.

DogWorld stands for curated content, for animal welfare before showmanship and for formats rooted in the reality of everyday life with dogs.

It’s not about higher, faster, louder – but about quality, attitude and a sense of togetherness that embraces diversity: in pace, in character and in each team’s individual path.

The founders of DogWorld

DogWorld was created by Désirée Rohrer and Kay Mackenneth – they conceived and designed it and lead it strategically.

As the creative and content leads, they are responsible for:

  • the conceptual direction of DogWorld
  • brand management and the entire look & feel
  • the development and further development of key formats such as DackelRace, DogHero and the stage programmes

DogWorld is not an anonymous trade fair format, but a deliberately developed platform with a clear stance, personal responsibility and high standards of quality and animal welfare.

DogWorld Expert Advisory Board

To ensure professional depth, quality and responsibility in the long term, DogWorld is supported by an Expert Advisory Board.

The Advisory Board brings together independent expertise in:

• animal welfare & protection
• canine health
• training & everyday life
• responsible handling of dogs at events and in everyday situations

The members advise DogWorld on content-related questions and help to develop programmes and formats further in a responsible, well-founded way – in the interest of the dogs.
