Fédération Cynologique de Géorgie (also FCG) is the national kennel club of Georgia. The FCG is the only kennel organization in Georgia officially recognized by Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). FCG liaises with other canine clubs, holds shows, and helps to promote dog breeds.
Cynology refers to the study of dogs, usually by enthusiasts and breeders. It is not a recognized scientific discipline in English-speaking countries. It is the source of the English word cynic, which is directly related to canines. In English, the organization is Kynological Federation of Georgia (KFG), but it is more frequently referred to by its French name and uses the initials FCG.
