FCI Sighthound Group
The Sighthound Group is a designation used only by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale for a group of dog breeds consisting entirely of Sighthounds.
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Sighthound Group is made up of three different sections.
- Section 1 : Longhaired Sighthounds
