FCI breeds recognised on a definitive basis are eligible for the CACIB (Certificat d’Aptitude au Championnat International de la FCI) and for the FCI titles (Winner of the World Dog Show, Winner of the Section Shows - Europe, Asia and the Pacific, Americas and the Caribbean).

FCI breeds recognised on a provisional basis are not eligible for the CACIB until they are recognised on a definitive basis, but are eligible for the FCI titles (Winner of the World Dog Show, Winner of the Section Shows - Europe, Asia and the Pacific, Americas and the Caribbean). In addition, the pedigrees issued to the dogs of these breeds have to carry the FCI logo.
