Recognition
A breed is recognised by a named body, under that body's own number, inside that body's own group, and the bodies do not always agree. The catalogue records what each one says.
- Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) lists it as Estrela Mountain Dog, standard No. 173, Group 2 (Pinscher and Schnauzer, Molossoid breeds, Swiss Mountain and Cattledogs), section Molossian type. Read the FCI breed standard.
