Cynology (cynologist, cynological) – study of dogs
Most people appear to be fully aware of:
Entomology – study of insects
Ichthyology – study of fish
Lepidoptery – study of butterflies
Ornithology – study of birds
but even many dog fanciers seem unaware of the term for the study of canines, though they have encountered it in French in what is the name of most of the world’s equivalent to the AKC, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI).
