The two first phrases are often used as practice sentences by typists, occasionally as font jobs (formerly) by printers. The second sentence has all the letters of the alphabet, which is handy for some purposes. Who first used them? No idea.
The second phrase is "dogs" (plural) not "dog", then each letter of the alphabet is represented. It was used as a training exercise by people learning how to typewrite in the days when manual typewriters existed (Ah yes, I remember it well!). The focus was on learning how to move you fingers to get to some of the more difficult keys, etc. Very similar in concept to the vocal exercises (do, re, me, fa, so, la, te, do) used by people who sing.
The version I remember gets the S in differently: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
There's also "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs." It's shorter.
