Friendly, Mellow, Merry
[3]A bluish spaniel from Picardy
Nineteenth-century accounts mention black or black-and-white “Spaniels of the North”; the Blue Picardy Spaniel became a distinct category in the early 20th century. The FCI standard identifies coat color as its main difference from the Picardy Spaniel.
[1]A small-game hunter especially skilled at woodcock
The standard describes a pointing dog used for small-game hunts and especially skilled at woodcock. It has a body roughly one-tenth longer than its height.
[1]Fine black-and-white ticking creates its blue cast
The flat or slightly wavy coat ranges from silver-gray to gray-black speckling that creates a bluish cast, with or without black patches. The legs and tail carry fringes, and the ears have long wavy hair.
