Picardy Spaniel Puppies For Sale

One of the oldest spaniel breeds, the Picardy Spaniel or Epagneul Picard is a natural hunter and strong swimmer. A dedicated working companion, these dogs are able to leave business at the door and be calm, loving pets when home. Highly adaptable, Picardy Spaniels can live in most settings with sufficient daily exercise. Full-grown, they typically weigh 44-55 pounds and stand 22-24 inches tall.

Picardy Spaniels are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. If you can commit to exercising these dogs for one to two hours each day, though, they can do just fine in a city-like environment. Determined while working, they have a pretty even-keeled temperament and enjoy being a part of the family at home. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

In addition to exceptional hunting abilities, Picardy Spaniels are great in the water. Something as simple as playing fetch in a lake, stream, or pool can keep these dogs occupied for hours. Or, let them doggie paddle away in the water for a bit and you’ll be sure to have a tired spaniel, smiling ear to ear. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.

You’ll recognize a Picardy Spaniel by their brown and white coat, complete with flecking on the chest and sizable solid brown patches toward the back area. Their wavy coat is silky to the touch. Grooming for the Picardy Spaniel requires a thorough brushing one to two times per week. Grooming-wise, this breed is moderate.

Picardy Spaniels are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. A rural setting for the Picardy Spaniel is ideal, as they are natural hunters and thrive in open spaces. Determined while working, they have a pretty even-keeled temperament and enjoy being a part of the family at home. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
