Dog World was a monthly magazine aimed at the community of serious dog enthusiasts and participants, including breeders; conformation exhibitors; obedience, agility, herding, and field trial competitors; veterinarians; groomers; and trainers.
[citation needed] The magazine was sold for 10 cents per copy or one dollar per year.
Fancy Publications, of Irvine, California (and now named Lumina Media) purchased Dog World in late 2001 and took over publication of the magazine starting with the March 2002 issue.
From 1923 to 1948, the magazine's tagline was "A Monthly Journal for Breeders, Fanciers and Dog Lovers".
BowTie, Inc. publishes many other animal-focused magazines, such as Dog Fancy, Cat Fancy, Bird Talk, Horse Illustrated, Aquarium Fish International, and Dogs In Review, as well as several websites devoted to pets, including DogChannel.com.
