History	In 19th-century Picardy, various authors described, in their writings, some black or black and white spaniels called “épagneuls du Nord” (“Spaniels of the North”). It was only from the early 20th century that the Blue Picardy Spaniel started running in a specific category until it became officially recognized as a breed. When the standard was officially registered in 1938, the general appearance and abilities of the Blue Picardy Spaniel were described in the following terms: “Quite low to the ground dog, well built for the job.” The main difference between the Blue Picardy Spaniel and the Spaniel of Picardy (the two PICARDY breeds) is the color of their coat.
