History 
 
It is on July 16th, 1978 that the first friendly gathering in Napierreville was organized and who joined together about fifteen spaniels. From 1978 to 1985, the role of our association was dedicated to the compilation of a register of breeding in order to make recognize the race near the Canadian Kennel Club and which was obtained in 1985. Since the club endeavoured to bring together amateurs of the race who devote themselves to the maintenance of a standard of conformation and of work which make to our French spaniel a marvellous family dog and if you drive out, an exceptional general-purpose pointer.
