   • A dogman, he said, likes having tails wagged at him, wants to be looked up to, and tends for that reason to be quite a good leader.

Little is heard of cats in army officers' messes or barracks. — (John Montgomery, The Wolrd of Cats, « Are You a Catman? », Hamlyn Publishing Group^(en), New York, New York, 1968, ISBN 978-0-600-00635-0, page 11)

   • Dogfights are most commonly staged in secluded rural areas such as barns or fields. When a contract is drawn up for a fight, the participants decide on a central location. They then contact a dogman in that area to make arrangements to have the fight at a location that he provides. On the day of the fight the participants and the spectators, usually members of the fraternity, which tends to be almost exclusively male, meet at a dogman’s house near the location where the fight will take place. This gathering of the fraternity before the event is a very important element of the dogmen subculture. — (Rhonda D. Evans, Craig J.
