maybe a suggestion for pet talk is to only have racing threads in the dog house area, and only have purely pet related threads in this and other areas.

Funny, you don't sound like a raving fanatic.

What you say makes sense to me. I have no problem with Dog
Sports to test dog skills, but I have many problems with the dog
racing industry that is so very willing to overbreed these dogs &
casually drop them when they can no longer win races (make
money). Dog racing is for the entertainment & enrichment of
humans, not the dogs.
