Notes
(Extinct) have been recognised breeds at some point in time but have now died out.
(Historical) were once a definite type of dog but were not developed into a recognised breed.
[1] An FCI Breed not yet recognised in Australia
[2] Breeds recognised by other Kennel Clubs which enjoy world Stud Book reciprocal arrangements like the AKC, CKC etc.
[3] Primitive Dogs like Australian Dingo, the wild dog of Australia which was used in the development of the Australian Herding Breeds
[4] The American Pit Bull Terrier which is the subject of the series of articles on Breed Specific Legislation (BSL)
[5] The Smithfield was Sheepdog that was used in the early development of Australia. Today, it is still a working sheepdog known by this name despite not being recognised as a pure breed. Similarly the Fell and Patterdale Terriers are working Terriers in the UK, have Breed Clubs but are not yet recognised by the Kennel Club (UK).
