(I also have a problem with torturing dogs. My entire ethics isn't about persons.)

Sure it is. You don't have a (ethical) problem with dogs torturing dogs, do you?

I don't think dogs typically do anything I'd label torture, mostly because it'd have to be more systematic than just fighting. But no, I don't think any ethically wrong act is performed if one dog hurts another dog. I'd probably still try to break them up.
