FCI

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) is an international canine organisation that connects national canine organisations, breeders, judges, event organisers and dog enthusiasts around the world. Its work focuses on pedigree dogs, breed standards, responsible breeding and canine health and welfare. The FCI provides information for people considering a puppy or seeking guidance on preparing for and caring for a dog, as well as resources on nutrition, health, behaviour, environment and mental wellbeing.

Visitors can explore recognised breeds, breed standards and breed-specific education, and access information about breeders and kennel names. The organisation also coordinates international dog events and championships across a wide range of activities, including conformation shows, agility, obedience, working trials, herding, coursing, sled dog sports and junior handling. Its website publishes schedules, results, regulations, judges’ information, statistics and annual reports. Through its commissions, member organisations and youth initiatives, the FCI supports collaboration, education and the development of canine activities. It describes itself as the world’s largest canine organisation and promotes healthy, responsibly bred, much-loved pedigree dogs.
