Cynology

Cynology is the study of dogs, the word is not yet found in major English dictionaries.

Both the French and English words derive from the Greek roots κυν (kyn) for dog and λογος (logos) for word.

Cynologists study canine evolution and breed development, canine behaviour and training, and canine history.

The discipline was virtually non-existent prior to the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when purebred canine registries began to be organised, starting in 1873 with the founding of The Kennel Club in Britain
