Federation Cynologique
Internationale
(FCI)
The Fédération Cynologique
Internationale is the World
Canine Organization. The FCI was
created in 1911 with the aim to
promote and protect cynology and
purebred dogs by any means it
considers necessary. The
founding nations of the FCI are
Germany, Austria, Belgium,
France and the Netherlands. It
includes 84 members and contract
partners (one member per
country) that each issue their
own pedigrees and train their
own judges. The FCI ensures that
the pedigrees and judges are
mutually recognized by all the
FCI members. The FCI recognizes
339 breeds, each of them the
"property" of a specific
country. The "owner" country
writes the standard of the breed
(description of the ideal type
of the breed), in co-operation
with the Standards and
Scientific Commission of the
FCI, and the translation and
updating are carried out by the
FCI. The breed standards are
updated and translated into
French, English, Spanish and
German.
