French Spaniels are descended from bird dogs described by Gaston III of Foix Beam, a French count who wrote a tone on hunting in the late 14th century. These medieval dogs are thought to be the original stock of all hunting spaniels. Selective breeding produced the elegant, athletic dog with a firm point so successful in working trials today. The first standard was drafted by James de Connick in 1891. It has been revised several times in the meantime as the breed has evolved, most recently in 2009. French Spaniels are outstanding pointers that are also great retrievers.
