"...there were occasions when Jack was tempted to ask his way of the many fishermen, English and Dutch, who haunted those perilous banks in their shallow-draught doggers, schuyts, busses, howkers, and even bugalets, and who made his progress all the more uneasy by lying across his hawse until the last possible minute or suddenly looming out of the darkness without a single light so that he had to throw all aback." --Patrick O'Brian, The Surgeon's Mate, 285

From OED: A two-masted fishing vessel with bluff bows, somewhat resembling a ketch, used in the North Sea deep sea fisheries: formerly applied to English craft as well as those of other nations, but now practically restricted to Dutch fishing vessels (though out of use in Holland itself). In the 17th and 18th centuries, doggers frequently acted as privateers.

A voyeur. More specifically, someone (almost always male) who stands around in the bushes on lover's lane to watch other people have sex in their cars.reference 1
The Oxford English Dictionary suggests that those being watched are well aware of the activity and may even encourage doggers to participate. As yet outside of the gay community this is an almost exclusively British term.
