history
The roots of the ENCI go back to 1882, when a group of cynologists founded the Società per il miglioramento delle razze canine in Italia (Society for the Improvement of Dog Breeds in Italy). The founders were Carlo Borromeo , Emilio Belgioioso d'Este , Ferdinando Delor , Carlo Biffi and Luigi Radice . Within a few years, this organization developed into the Italian Kennel Club as an umbrella organization with 31 founding members. In 1875, the Bracco Italiano Falco was the first dog to be entered in the Libro delle Origini Italiano (LOI) stud book .
At the end of the 19th century, the association organized its first dog shows in Turin and Milan and started publishing a magazine. In 1904 over 1000 dogs were registered in the LOI for the first time. In 1926, the ENCI was recognized as a legal person in fascist Italy . In 1940 he was recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture .
The ENCI has recognized the FCI's papers since 1970 . In 2009 around 160,000 dogs were registered in the LOI. It organizes around 2000 events annually, including 1200 working tests and around 400 dog shows, in which a total of around 100,000 dogs take part.
