The FCI is a worldwide canine organization with 78 members and partners, one from each country. The FCI is not a registry. Each country's member organization is responsible for their country's registry activities and judge's training. The FCI insures that the pedigrees and judges are mutually recognized by all the FCI members. In addition, via the national canine organization and the FCI, breeder's may request international protection of their kennel name.
The FCI recognizes 331 breeds. The breed standards for each breed are written, in co-operation with the Standards and Scientific Commissions of the FCI, by their respective "owner" countries (m/o country of origin).
Each member country conducts international shows and working trials. The results
are sent to the FCI office where they are tabulated. When a dog has been awarded
a certain number of awards, it can receive the title of International Beauty
or Working Champion. The titles confirmed by the FCI include:
CACIB - Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International de Beauté
(Conformation)
CACIT - Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International de Travail (Working)
CACIL - Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International des Courses de Lévriers
(Racing)
CACIOB - Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International d'Obéissance
(Obedience)
CACIAG - Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International d'Agility (Agility)
The FCI also publishes a magazine, three times yearly, in four languages (French, English, German and Spanish). Information about the publication is available from STRATEGO, Muhlenweg 4, 7221 Marz, Austria.

An International championship certificate As awarded by the IABCA and UCI
The title requirements listed are set forth and awarded by the Union Cynologie
International e. V. (UCI) headquartered in Germany. The International All Breed
Canine Association of America, Inc. (IABCA) has been granted dispensation by
UCI to sanction shows in the United States and Canada and to award UCI certificates
and titles. These shows are held in the same manner as CKC or AKC Championship
shows except that they are in accordance with the German regulations and guidelines
that have been established by UCI.
Each dog receives a written critique upon completion of the class. Each dog
is first judged as to how well it conforms to the International UCI breed standard,
then against the class. The International UCI standards are based on the country
of origin for each breed, where possible. Group judging is held the same as
a CKC or AKC show with the exception of the winners being jointly selected by
two judges. Best in Show is held the same as a CKC or AKC show with the exception
of the winner being jointly selected by a panel of judges.
The puppy critiques include a rating of: SG-1 (Very good; top rating), SG-2
(very good but not as good as SG-1; no certificate), G (good; no certificate),
F (fair; no certificate) P (poor; no certificate), M (unsatisfactory; if this
is awarded the dog is disqualified from further showing).
More than one SG-1 rating may be awarded in each class. When more than one puppy
takes a SG-1 rating in a class, an a, b, c or d will be placed after the SG-1
rating. This denotes the class placement, with the SG-1a being the 1st place
winner who competes for Best Puppy in Breed.
The adult critiques include a rating of: V-1 (very excellent; top rating), V-2
(excellent), V-3 (excellent but not as good as V-2), V-4 (excellent but not
as good as V-3), SG (very good; no certificate), G (good; no certificate), F
(fair; no certificate) P (poor; no certificate), M (unsatisfactory; if this
is awarded the dog is disqualified from further showing).
More than one V-1 or V-2 rating may be awarded in each class. When more than
one dog takes a V-1 rating in a class, an a, b, c or d will be placed after
the V-1 rating. This denotes the class placement, with the V-1a being the 1st
place winner who competes for Best of Breed.
