Le galgo espagnol est reconnu par la FCI, et pourtant un certains nombres de pays adhérents à la FCI, et non des moindres, ne reconnaissent pas le galgo espagnol : Royaume Uni, USA, Canada...
Quel est le mécanisme de reconnaissance d'une race par un pays et comment se fait-il que des pays adhérents à la FCI ne reconnaissent pas la totalité des races reconnues par la FCI?

The Spanish Galgo is recognized by the FCI, and yet a certain number of countries adhering to the FCI, but not least, do not recognize the Spanish Galgo: United Kingdom, USA, Canada ...
What is the mechanism for recognition of a race by a country and how is it that countries adhering to the FCI does not recognize all the breeds recognized by the FCI?

Actually, I think United States, Canada and United Kingdom are not adhering countries to the FCI.

these countries have got their own federation, with their own rules, I think they need a certain number of birth for a breed being recognized....?

And they need a standard. I remember that Marie from Canada was planning to work for the galgos being recognized in Canada and one the first things that she wanted to do was to make a good English version of the galgo standard. I can't remember whether at that time the official English version of the FCI-standrad was already existing.

if the galgo is not recognised, the birth are not registered, so they never have enough birth to recognise the breed!!

My dream was to participate one time at the Cruft's show with a galgo but it's impossible

If you have a fci-breed in a country where it is not recognised, you can register your dogs and litters in a special book.
