The FCI is the world canine organization that homologates the pedigrees of dogs. But there are several dog breeds not recognized by the FCI, even though they meet all the requirements to be considered "pure" breeds from the phylogenetic point of view.

In this article on our site we explain what these breeds are and why they are not recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

Do not forget that the breed of the dog is not important unless you want to participate in canine morphology contests. Keep reading:

In many cases, breeds are not recognized by the FCI because they do not have a detailed written standard In other cases because they do not meet the requirements established by the FCI. And in other cases, simply because no person or canine organization has bothered to carry out the procedure for these breeds to be recognized by the FCI.

It is also possible that political aspects unrelated to canine organizations have prevented the international dissemination of a breed, limiting it to a very localized environment and making it difficult to include it in the FCI registries. Or that the controversial image of a breed has hindered its acceptance by canine organizations around the world, as is the case with the pitbull dog

In any case, it is important to bear in mind that there are dog breeds that are not recognized by the FCI but are recognized by other canine organizations such as the American Kennel Club(AKC), Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), United Kennel Club (UKC), Continental Kennel Club (CoKC) and other kennel organizations.

In addition to the kennel societies of the United States that have remained independent of the FCI, many kennel societies associated with the FCI recognize breeds that are not homologated by the FCI.

For example, the Royal Canine Society of Spain (RSCE) recognizes some Spanish breeds that are not recognized by the FCI. Although these breeds cannot compete in international FCI events, they do participate in local shows recognized by the RSCE.

There is a possibility that, as these breeds become more popular, procedures for their recognition by the FCI will be carried out. Some of the dog breeds not recognized by the FCI are:

Akbash

This dog of Turkish origin is not recognized by any international club such as the FCI or the KCB but by local societies and by Cynological Federation of Turkey.

American Pit Bull Terrier

The American Pit Bull Terrier is undoubtedly one of the most popular dogs of this century. His fame does not correspond at all to the reality of this beautiful and intelligent dog. Formerly it was used as a nanny dog for its patience with children and its protective nature

Many people believe that it is an aggressive dog, but the truth is that it is a dog like any other. The main difference is that some people train it with bad intentions.
