The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Spitz and Primitive Types Group is made up of eight different sections.
The FCI sorts the breeds in the group by section and country of origin as follows:
Section 1 : Nordic Sledge Dogs
Section 2 : Nordic Hunting Dogs
Section 3 : Nordic Watchdogs and Herding Dogs
Section 4 : European Spitz
Section 5 : Asian Spitz and Related Breeds
Section 6 : Primitive Types
Section 7 : Primitive Types - Hunting Dogs
Breeds Provisionally Accepted
These breeds are not eligible for the CACIB in international dog shows and the FCI lists them separately under the section "Breeds Provisionally Accepted". After having been long enough in the list, they will be qualified for the CACIB and removed to the corresponding group list.
