Sammanfattning

The structure and aims of the Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) are outlined, with a focus on the rules and regulations that are relevant to breeding and genetic health of dogs. Recently adopted strategies to enhance canine genetic health and activities to counteract exaggerated anatomical features are highlighted. Actions by the FCI regarding recognition of breeds and doping rules, under direct control by cynological organisations, are included, based on their relevance to canine health. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
