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 Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) additionally divides groups into subgroups, which the other main English-speaking kennel clubs do not. The FCI Terrier Group is made up of four different sections.
- Section 1 : Large and medium-sized Terriers
- Section 2 : Small-sized Terriers
- Section 3 : Bull type Terriers
- Section 4 : Toy Terriers
The FCI sorts the breeds in the group by section and country of origin as follows:
Section 1 : Large and medium-sized Terriers
- 1. Germany
- 2. Great Britain
- 3. Ireland
Section 2 : Small-sized Terriers
- 1. Australia
- 2. Great Britain
- 3. Japan
- Nihon Teria (Japanese Terrier)
- 4. Czech Republic
- Ceský Teriér (Cesky Terrier)
Section 3 : Bull type Terriers
- 1. Great Britain
- 2. U.S.A.
Section 4 : Toy Terriers
