Otterhounds are prone to specific genetic and structural health conditions. Prospective and current owners should carefully monitor for joint issues, stomach conditions, and ear infections
Feed a high-quality large-breed puppy formula to support steady bone growth and avoid excess calories.
Maintain a two- to three-meal feeding schedule until 6 months old, then transition to two meals per day.
Avoid overfeeding and excessive treats to prevent obesity.
Otterhounds need regular weekly grooming, with an emphasis on combing, cleaning their untidy beard, and inspecting their long ears, in order to manage their rough, double coat and preserve hygiene. They are a somewhat shedding breed, thus they need to be brushed 1-2 times a week with a slicker brush, have their nails trimmed every two weeks, and occasionally have a bath.
Provide moderate, low-impact activity such as leash walks, gentle play, and supervised swimming.
Avoid strenuous jumping, running on hard surfaces, or stair climbing until growth plates close at around 18 months.
Engage their mind with scent games and tracking exercises.
The Otterhound is a rare and distinctive scent hound that originated in medieval England, developed specifically for hunting otters in rivers and streams. With their dense, water-resistant double coat, large webbed feet, and remarkable stamina, Otterhounds are perfectly adapted to work in wet environments. They are friendly, affectionate, and intelligent, with a deep, melodious voice and a strong sense of smell that can track scents even in water.
As a breed, Otterhounds are sociable and good-natured, making them excellent companions for active households. However, their independent nature and powerful nose mean recall training can be challenging.
