Blue Picardy Spaniel

Origin: France

The Blue Picardy Spaniel is a breed of Spaniel originating in France, from the area around the mouth of the River Somme, around the start of the 20th century. It is descended from Picardy Spaniels and English Setters, and is described as a quiet breed that requires much exercise due to its stamina. It is especially good with children. Similar to the Picardy Spaniel, it has a distinctive coloured coat. The breed is recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, the Canadian Kennel Club, the Société Centrale Canine, and the United Kennel Club. It is not yet recognized by the American Kennel Club though registration services are provided though the AKC's Foundation Stock Service. The Blue Picardy Spaniel can be found in its greatest numbers in France and Canada.
