Terrier Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 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 list of dogs in this group is largely the same across the major English-speaking Kennel clubs-- NTC,AKC, ANKC, CKC, KC(UK), KUSA, UKC and NZKC. The group consists of most, but not all, terrier breeds. In the case of the North American clubs, it even contains a nonterrier.

The ANKC designates the Terrier Group as group 2, and the CKC as group 4.

The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) also has a Terrier Group, but further subdivides them into sections based on size; see FCI Terrier Group.
