At a young age, Dogiamas joined the Macedonian Struggle with his cousins, Traianos, Lazaros, Dimitrios, and Georgios Dogiamas. He became a co-leader of the Lazaros armed group and acted until 1907, mainly at [[Giannitsa Lake]].

After the liberation of Macedonia and Greece's entry into [[World War I]], Dogiamas set up an armed group with his cousin, chieftain Georgios Domiagias, to confront Bulgarian komitadjis, who had re-entered Macedonia. In 1916, their armed group battled a group of Bulgarian komitadjis. Christos Dogiamas and his cousin's brother-in-law, Georgios Kehagias, died after eliminating two komitadji armed groups.
