FCI Terrier Group
Terrier Group is a designation used by most all-breed dog registries (or kennel clubs) for a group of dog breeds consisting almost entirely of terriers. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Terrier Group is made up of four different sections.
- Section 1 : Large and medium-sized Terriers
