History
Systematics 1950
The systematics of the FCI breeds that went into effect in the 1950s, Yves Surget describes 1988 as follows: " The old nomenclature included ten race groups. The first group consisted of the herding dogs, with and without working trial. The second group was that of the watch and guard dogs ( Molossian, Mountain Dogs, various Spitz breeds), also with and without working trial. The third group consisted of the terriers, the fourth group was the Dachshunds reserved, while the fifth and sixth group was each dedicated to running dogs for big game and the running dogs for small game. Finally, in the seventh group followed the hounds, the non-UK Vorstehrassen and in the eighth group to found the British Pointers, Retrievers and Spaniel breeds. The ninth group consisted of social or assistance dogs and the tenth group was the greyhounds. "
She was a classification that was based on the use of the respective races for the division into 10 main groups. Previously a division into 11 groups was common.
Origin of the system of 1987
The currently valid nomenclature of dog breeds in the FCI was adopted by the General Assembly of the FCI in June 1987 in Jerusalem. It is based on a proposal by Raymond Triquet. This was at the time a lecturer at the University of Lille III and Judge of the French Association for dog breeds Société Centrale Canine ( SCC). He had been commissioned in 1981 by the breeding Commission of the FCI with the reform of the nomenclature of dog breeds. Triquet this support, inter alia, the classification of Pierre Megnin from 1897 (see Breed, Historic Classification) and criteria of Baron Raoul for Body of dogs. He replaced the use case -based classification by a division into groups and sub-groups of dogs, which are the same type and suggested to classify them according to common features.
The new distribution of the races on ten groups based on morphological characteristics and related to similar capabilities, but also took into account administrative requirements.
