FCI Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid and Swiss Mountain Dog Group

The Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid and Swiss Mountain Dog Group is a designation used only by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale for a group of dog breeds consisting of Pinschers, Schnauzers, Molossoid breeds and Swiss Mountain Dog.

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid and Swiss Mountain Dog Group is made up of three different sections.

The FCI sorts the breeds in the group by section and country of origin as follows:

These breeds are not eligible for the CACIB in international dog shows and the FCI lists them separately under the section "Breeds Provisionally Accepted". After having been long enough in the list, they will be qualified for the CACIB and removed to the corresponding group list.
