Otterhound
Overview
The Otterhound was bred in Britain as scent trackers for hunting otter on land and in water. They almost disappeared after hunting otters became illegal in Britain, but enthusiasts have repurposed them as family companions. They are known to have a loud barking hound voice and they can be energetic and fun-loving dogs. The Otterhounds are known for their dense shaggy coat, webbed feet and their love for swimming.
