Welcome!
This project is created for fun and designed as a structured catalog of dog breeds, focused on clarity, comparison, and easy navigation. The main classification system follows the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale).
What is FCI
FCI — Fédération Cynologique Internationale (International Canine Federation) — the largest international federation of kennel clubs, which defines official breed standards and group structures worldwide.
- Founded on 22 May 1911, headquartered in Thuin, Belgium.
- 98 member countries.
- Recognizes 356 breeds; each breed belongs to its country of origin, which writes its standard; FCI publishes standards in 4 languages (en/fr/de/es)
To provide a broader perspective, the catalog also incorporates data from other kennel organizations, as well as independent breed sources. As a result, the database includes not only officially recognized breeds, but also less common and developing ones.
If a breed is missing, it may not yet be added or sufficient reference material is still being collected.
About classification
The catalog combines:
— officially recognized FCI breeds and groups
— breeds recognized by other kennel clubs
— rare or developing breeds not yet formally classified
Breed classification may vary between kennel organizations. The same breed can be assigned to different groups depending on the standard used.
For official FCI standards, you can visit the FCI website.
You can also find practical and helpful information about dog care, training, behavior, and daily life in the Guides section.
Enjoy exploring, learning, and discovering dog breeds :)
