    About Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana
    The Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana (ENCI) is an association recognized in 1940, which finds its origins in the Italian Kennel Club founded in 1882. ENCI is an association of breeders aimed to protect dog breeds by improving and increasing breeding, as well as regulating and promoting their use and their valorisation for zootechnical, social and sporting purposes. ENCI offers assistance to breeders and breed clubs for managing selection plans by collaborating with the main Italian Universities.

    ENCI manages the herd book by registering, in recent years, about 200,000 puppies a year; it provides for the training of judges and experts whom evaluate the morphological and functional characteristics of subjects registered in the Stud Book. The dog units formed by ENCI work for the assistance to people with disabilities, assisted interventions with animals with a therapeutic, rehabilitative, educational and ludic-recreational value; they are also used for monitoring, conservation and management projects in the wildlife-environmental sector.
