FCI Companion and Toy Dog Group

The Companion and Toy Dog Group is a designation used only by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale for a group of dog breeds consisting entirely of Toy Dogs.

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Companion and Toy Dog Group is made up of eleven different sections.

• Section 1 : Bichons and Related Breeds
• Section 2 : Poodles
• Section 3 : Small Belgian Companion Dogs
• Section 4 : Hairless Breeds
• Section 5 : Tibetan Breeds
• Section 6 : Chihuahuas
• Section 7 : English Toy Spaniels
• Section 8 : Japanese Chin and Pekingese
• Section 9 : Continental Toy Spaniels
• Section 10 : Kromfohrländer
• Section 11 : Small Molossian Type Dogs
