Doggett/Scully is the romantic pairing between the characters John Doggett and Dana Scully on The X-Files. The pairing is commonly denoted as DSR - Doggett/Scully Relationship - and fan who 'ships it often refer to themselves as Dippers instead of shippers.

The very idea of Agent Doggett joining forces with Agent Scully on the X Files unit was something exciting because it was very much like when Scully joined Mulder. One the sceptic and one the believer. The difference was Scully now paired with the sceptic Agent Doggett was once the sceptic herself. When they work together they create an understanding. Doggett has to understand and respect how she now believes in paranormal phenomena and Scully has to appreciate Doggett’s unwillingness to believe, as she could not all those years ago.

Quotes About DSR From TPTB

"I got the pretty clear sense that John Doggett was in love with Dana Scully."

Frank Spotnitz

"From the beginning Doggett has tremendous respect for Scully and I think that respect has blossomed into something else. That was always our intention, that we would have a sort of triangle."

Chris Carter

"If Mulder's safety is Doggett's paramount desire, his desire for Scully is always at war with his honor."

Chris Carter ("Trust No 1" script, page 36)

"I honestly believe Doggett loves Scully but he doesn’t want to impose himself on her."

Robert Patrick
