Description
The Blue Picardy Spaniel is a devoted, gentle soul, perfectly happy curling up at their family's feet after a day of adventure. They possess a keen sporting instinct, inherited from generations of French hunting dogs, meaning they love a good walk or a game of fetch. Their mellow nature at home belies a tireless energy outdoors, making them ideal companions for active households. They bond deeply with their people, often shadowing them from room to room, and thrive on being included in family activities. While generally laid-back, they can be surprisingly vocal when excited or if they spot an interesting scent.
