Definition of cynology in English English dictionary

The study of dogs

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; .

(Hayvan Bilim, Zooloji) Cynology (from Greek: κύων (gen. κύνος) , kyn, "dog"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the study of dogs. The word appears to have been taken into specialized English language usage (i.e., within the community of the canine fancy) from the French (cynophilie, dog amateurism; cynologique, of dog studies, probably popularized by the title of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale). The word is not yet found in major English dictionaries. κυν is also the source of the English word cynic, and is indirectly related to canine and hound
