Editing Doggie (section)

===Early YouTube beginnings===
Doggie originally launched his main YouTube channel, 'ripped dog' (now renamed 'RippyDoggy'), on 26 December 2011 at just five years old.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/@rippydoggy</ref> He created the channel after receiving a small camera as a Christmas gift. With help from his father, who regularly uploaded the footage by transferring videos from the camera's memory card, Doggie began posting recordings he had made for pure enjoyment. Throughout 2012, this became routine, uploading spontaneous, playful videos without intending to become a YouTuber. All these early uploads are now private.

By 2013, Doggie had begun managing the channel independently, focusing primarily on ''Minecraft'' content. One of his earliest videos, 'Minecraft ENDER DRAGON seed', was uploaded on 24 October and featured the seed 'ENDER DRAGON'.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7jJ3LOacK4</ref> It remains his oldest public video and was the first to attract many views. He continued producing ''Minecraft'' videos throughout the rest of 2013 and into most of 2014.
