Meet the Blue Picardy Spaniel, a graceful, gentle, and versatile gundog from France. With their smoky blue-gray coats, feathery ears, and calm personalities, these rare spaniels are not only beautiful but also excellent hunters and affectionate family dogs. Originally bred for bird hunting in the wetlands of northern France, they now shine as loyal companions with an adventurous streak. If you’re looking for a sweet, sporty, and eye-catching best friend, the Blue Picardy Spaniel might just be your dream dog.
✅ Chill but Ready to Go: Calm indoors, but always down for a long walk, hike, or field romp.
✅ Friendly & Easygoing: Great with kids, other dogs, and new people, they’re the ultimate social butterfly (with feathers).
✅ Skilled Hunter: Known for soft mouths and great noses, they’re naturals at field work and retrieving.
✅ Stunning Coat: That blue-tinged, speckled fur isn’t just gorgeous—it’s also super soft and weather-resistant.
🐾 The breed originated in Picardy, France, and was developed by crossing Picardy Spaniels with English Setters.
🐾 Their coat is a bluish-gray “roan” with black ticking, giving them their unique stormy color.
🐾 They are still rare outside of France, making them a special find for sporting dog lovers.
This gentle, elegant, and energetic breed thrives in homes that can offer regular outdoor time, positive training, and loving companionship. While they’re not overly hyper, they do need mental and physical exercise to be their happiest selves. If you want a beautiful, brainy, and balanced dog, the Blue Picardy Spaniel might be your perfect match.
