About: List of Spanish dog breeds

Twelve Spanish dog breeds are recognised by both the Fédération Cynologique Internationale and by the Real Sociedad Canina de España, and a further twelve by the Real Sociedad alone. The society also lists nine breeds that have regional recognition from one of the Autonomous Communities of Spain and three grupos étnicos caninos, which the society defines as a regional dog population with consistent form and function evolved through functional selection. Other breeds are seeking, or are in the process of obtaining, recognition.
