Introduction

With its distinctive shaggy coat and large, webbed feet, the Otterhound is a rare and affectionate breed with a strong swimming ability. Known for its excellent scent-tracking, this breed has a keen sense of smell and a friendly, even-temperament. Varying from medium to large size, Otterhounds require regular exercise due to their high activity levels, making them ideal for active families or individuals with access to outdoor spaces.
