FCI Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid and Swiss Mountain Dog Group

The Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid and Swiss Mountain Dog Group is a designation used, only by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), for a group of dog breeds consisting of Pinschers, Schnauzers, Molossoid breeds and Swiss Mountain Dog.

FCI additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid and Swiss Mountain Dog Group is made up of three different sections sorting the breeds by type and country of origin, as shown below.
