MNHQ, many of us on here are interested and/or active in dog welfare and rescue, be that as rescuers, campaigners, vets or just well informed dog owners. To call this section "The Kennel Club", after an organisation which encourages the breeding of dogs for looks rather than health - indeed which encourages breeding at all when there are hundreds of dogs being killed in pounds each week purely for want of homes - is an insult.

I usually enjoy the wit of MN's topic names but this one was ill judged.

If we must have a seperate dog topic, albeit that it's not very helpful to those of us with various species, especially those who are able to advise and help with problems relating to more than one type of pet, may we please at least have a less offensive name for the topic.

Our apols if the topic title is offensive

Would you like to suggest an alternative?

Preferably without the word "dog" in it (for discouraging-passing-Friday-night-pervs reasons)...

Good morning, dog-lovers.

You are now no longer in the Kennel club but The doghouse.
