We did our own survey of several dog blogs and found that our very own DoggieNews is one of the top 10 (number 3 to be exact).

Perhaps we're really tooting our horn when we say that we did our own survey, but then again, we're putting in a lot of effort to make DoggieNews one of the top web destinations for dog content, so we take a lot of pride in this.

Here's the top 10 as we found it...

The number in parentheses represent the number of sites linking to that blog as represented in Technorati.

I sought about finding 100 dog blogs by searching through Technorati, several blog directories, and following blogroll links. I actually compiled 106 blogs in all.

Note that I found several blogs proclaiming to be dog blogs, but in fact the majority of their content focused on subjects other than dogs, namely politics, personal ramblings on life, and apologies for not blogging very often. I didn't include them because I wasn't satisfied their audience was largely dog owners.

There were also several pet blogs that I excluded because they didn't include enough content about dogs (mostly cats, birds, hamsters, et al). I considered "enough" to be at least 50% of total content.
