Blue Picardy Spaniel puppies for sale in Québec

Breed history

The Blue Picardy Spaniel originated in the Picardy region of northern France, near the mouth of the Somme River, in the early 20th century. The breed developed when English Setters and Picardy Spaniels interbred, an outcome of British hunters traveling to France and leaving their dogs behind during quarantine restrictions after World War I. This cross produced a dog with the grace and endurance of the Setter and the versatility and resilience of the French Spaniel. The result was a powerful yet elegant gun dog known for its distinctive blue-grey speckled coat and calm, even temperament. Today, the Blue Picardy Spaniel remains prized in France and Canada as both a skilled upland hunter and a devoted family companion.
