Definition of Classes
(as definied by the Kennel Club of Pakistan under FCI rules)

The only breeds that can be shown are those for which breed standards have been definitively or provisionally accepted by the FCI and which are registered with the studbook or with the appendix to the studbook (waiting list) of an FCI member country or of an FCI non-member country whose studbook is, however, recognised by the FCI, or those breeds that are not yet recognised (neither definitively nor provisionally) by the FCI. However, in this case, the breeds must be recognised at Pakistan level and have been issued pedigrees by the KCP (contract partner of the FCI). These breeds will appear in a special section (“breeds not recognised by the FCI”) in the catalogue. In addition, they are not eligible for the CACIB, for the Best of Group competitions and for the various FCI titles.

At all shows the division into groups is done in accordance with the current FCI Breed Nomenclature.

These groups are as follows:

Group 1 Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs, except Swiss Cattle Dogs
Group 2 Pinschers and Schnauzers – Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs and Other Breeds
Group 3 Terriers
Group 4 Dachshunds
Group 5 Spitz and Primitive Types
Group 6 Scenthounds and Related Breeds
Group 7 Pointing Dogs
Group 8 Retrievers – Flushing Dogs – Water Dogs
Group 9 Companion and Toy Dogs
Group 10 Sighthounds

The only breeds eligible for the working class are those appearing as working breeds in the FCI Breed Nomenclature.
