FIRST ONLINE, FIRST FOR DOG LOVERS!
The world's first website was www.TheDogPlace.org and today it covers every facet of dog ownership from Agility to Zany and interesting dog owners!
Lauded and applauded, that 1998 website grew into the NetPlaces Network covering dog news, dog breeding, canine health and genetics which spilled over into preserving human health. All information was and is by credentialed dog breeders, dog show judges, esteemed college professors, medical doctors and veterinarians.
The Dog Fancy Goes MainstreamVideo Express International was the first to video dog shows. That Andrews innovation led to an invitation to officially videotape the world's largest dog event, the Crufts Dog Show in London, England. (sidenote: there was no "internet" then.)
With their videos in high demand, Bill and Barbara Andrews were invited to attend the 1998 Nat. Assoc. Of Broadcasters conference (NAB) in Dallas, TX. Our African Embassies had just been bombed and tensions were high but the Andrews were the security-cleared guests of Lawrence Lindsey, who gave the feature seminar "Presenting Network News."
At the 3-day NAB event, the Andrews shared a drink with Ted Turner (founder of Turner Broadcasting which became CNN). He introduced them to Rupert Murdoch, President of News Corp. which today is Fox News. Encouraged by the media giants, Bill Andrews decided the emerging internet would need a dog-site.
In a "meant to be" coincidence, the computer tech for the Andrews Tri-State Plumbing Company knew a guy who was building an inventory website for Nike Shoes...
As hundreds of users quickly became thousands, the first online database became The Dog-e-Book, a free "yellow pages" for dog breeders, exhibitors, judges and dog clubs. It was revolutionary as the easiest and quickest connection for 1.2 million dog owners, breeders and dog show judges. The categorized, searchable "doggie directory" closed in 2022, outdated by search engines that make "everyone who is anyone" findable.
