The Otterhound is a rare, large scent hound, originally bred in England for hunting otters in rivers and wetlands. They are friendly, playful, and social dogs, known for their keen sense of smell and love for water. Their wire-haired, waterproof double coat requires regular brushing to prevent tangles and matting, and they shed moderately year-round. Training can be challenging, as they are intelligent but independent and scent-driven, requiring patience, positive reinforcement, and structured training. With high energy levels, Otterhounds need daily exercise, long walks, and swimming opportunities to stay happy.
The Otterhound is a large, rough-coated scent hound originating from England, specifically bred for hunting otters. Its history dates back to medieval times, with early records indicating its use by nobility and royalty for otter hunting.
