In the early 20th century all spaniels in France were represented by the same club and were often shown together. That led to the short-lived name Small French Spaniel, despite its roan coat.
This French Spaniel was the response of hunters in the bay of the Somme area to the influx of British pointers at the beginning of the 20th century. This gentle breed is still used to catch game, but it is also a very friendly companion dog.
