Cynology is the study of matters related to canines or domestic dogs and regular dogs. In English it may be a term sometimes used to denote serious zoological approach to the study of dogs〔http://www.nmbe.ch/deutsch/531_6.html|Albert Heim Foundation (Goal and purpose of such a collection),The Natural History Museum Berne〕 as well as by writers on canine subjects, dog breeders and trainers〔 〕 and enthusiasts who informally study the dog.〔Five quotes are used in the Wiktionary to justify inclusion of the word cynology/cynologist. *''1892, The Journal of Comparative Medicine and Veterinary Archives, 'Professor Mills has done excellent work in his course on "Cynology, the Dog and his Diseases," a subject hitherto only taught incidentally in any college ... *''1948, Dogs In Britain Clifford L.B. Hubbard, MacMillan & Co, 'Buffon's table is here reproduced as it was a sincere attempt towards laying a foundation upon which cynologists might work out the origin of breeds and their varieties and the analysis of dog groups. *''1951, The American Mercury, 'Students of cynology can trace in the dictionary the dog's remarkable rise in the public esteem in this century. *''1985, The Complete Dog Book, published by the American Kennel Club, 'The annals of cynology make no further mention of the breed until 1901 when a combined Rottweiler and Leonberger Club was formed. *''1990, Austin Farrer, in his introduction to G. W. Leibniz’ "Theodicy: Essays on the Goodness of God, the Freedom of Man and the Origin of Evil"; quoted in Charles Taliaferro’s 2005 Evidence and Faith ((online )) 'Now neither probatology nor cynology could hope to be universal — the world is not all sheep nor all dog: it would have to be hylology;'〕 == Etymology == Cynology is a classical compound word (from Greek , ''kyōn'', genitive , ''kynos'', "dog"; and , ''-logia'') referring to the study of dogs. The word is not found in major English dictionaries and it is not a recognized scientific discipline in English-speaking countries. Similar words are found in other languages, such German and Dutch ''kynologie'', and the Russian ''кинология'', from the Proto-Indo-European , which is the source of ''hound''. κυν is also the source of the English word ''cynic'', and is directly related to ''canine'' and ''hound''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cynology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
