Official dog breeds registered in the LOF

In order to benefit from a place in the LOF, breeding dogs must pass a “confirmation“. A judge (confirming expert or specialist in the breed concerned) will confirm whether the dog corresponds to the breed standard. Thus, he will sign a birth certificate for the animal which will be returned to the SCC which will in turn return THE pedigree definitive, guarantee of the accuracy of the dog's origins. The company has thus defined several precise conditions to be respected in order to register for this book, in order to preserve the originality and authenticity of these pets.

To be assigned the status of “purebred dog“, the animal must therefore be registered with the LOF. This designation justifies a higher price than a dog considered by type, appearance, or even crossed. Below, you will find the list of dog breeds recognized by the LOF and classified by group.

Dog breeds by group

The FCI nomenclature (acronym for Fédération Cynologique Internationale) distinguishes the different dog breeds into around ten groups. This distinction of different dog breeds responds to the type of dog and its use.

Here is the categorization of dog breeds according to the different groups:

• THE group 1 includes shepherd dogs (Malinois, Border Collie, Beauceron, etc.) and cattle dogs, with the exception of Swiss cattle dogs
• THE group 2 includes both Pinscher and Schnauzer type dogs, but also molossoids, such as Mastiffs (Great Dane, Argentinian Mastiff, Cane Corso) and mountain dogs (Newfoundland, Pyrenees mountain dog, Bernese mountain dog, etc.)
• THE group 3 includes terrier dogs of all sizes (airedale terrier, Scottish terrier, etc.), but also bull-type terriers (American Staffordshire) and ornamental terriers (Yorkshire, Australian Terrier)
• A dog of group 4 refers to dachshund type dogs
• THE group 5 brings together so-called “primitive” dogs, a term designating Spitz-type dogs (Volpino, Sptiz Loup, Chow-Chow, etc.) but also sled dogs (Husky, Samoyed) and Nordic shepherd dogs
• THE group 6 is one of the largest categories in terms of number. There are common hunting dogs and blood search dogs, such as the Beagle, the Dalmatian, or the Basset des Alpes.
• THE group 7 refers to pointing dogs, such as pointers, spaniels but also setters and pointers
• THE group 8 refers to dogs that fetch or lift game, such as retrievers or cocker spaniels
• THE group 9 brings together pleasure dogs, generally small, such as Bichons, Poodles or Chihuahuas, but also pleasure spaniels such as the Cavalier King Charles. Please note that pleasure molossoid type dogs can also be included in this grouping. For example, you can find the French Bulldog or the Pug there.
• Finally the last group, the group 10brings together all greyhound dogs (Irish Lever, Spanish Greyhound, Borzoi, etc.)
