been awhile since i have done this, but if you are looking for a faster way you can use a lite wallet. like multidoge or wowdoge

in the dogecoin QT client, if you go to the console tab and use the "dumpprivkey" option you can get your private key, import it into a lite wallet and get those coins NOW instead of waiting for blockchain sync, possibly days.

The wallet doesn't have to be synced to get the private keys out of it.
