Otterhound

The head is large, rather narrow, and heavily covered with hair. It is deep set, with the nictitating membrane barely visible. The eyes are dark, but the eye and eye rims are well pigmented to match the general color. The eye color is dark black in dogs with black eye rims and noses, and hazel in dogs with liver or sable eye rims and noses. The ears are long, pendulous, and folded (the main edge is folded or rolled up, like a curtain). The ears are set low, even below the eyes, close to the head, and can reach the tip of the nose when stretched forward. The ears are well covered with hair. The nose is large, dark in color and well pigmented. The nostrils are wide open. The jaws are powerful and the bite is like that of a pair of pliers. A scissor bite is preferred. The neck is powerful, blending smoothly into the well-sloped, clean shoulders, and is of sufficient length to enable him to follow scents well. It is straight from the withers to the set-on of the tail. The chest is deep to

Originated from the UK

The Otterhound originated in the United Kingdom and is an amphibious hound.

Capable of catching prey on land and in water, the Otterhound is a tall, matted-coated hound with a magnificent head that shows great power and majesty, a solid body and long strides that enable it to work for long periods of time. He has an extremely keen sense of smell, is curious about smells, and is able to persist in research.

Otterhounds are often stubborn, especially when they see water, because they love playing in the water and have the ability to swim for hours without stopping. Their sense of smell is very keen, and they can smell the scent left by otters in the morning.

Otterhounds may be descendants of bloodhounds. They may be the result of a cross between large rough-coated terriers, ancient foxhounds and French poodles. Different hounds in the UK are used for different hunting activities, such as foxhounds, harriers and bloodhounds for boar hunting. Otterhounds are used to chase otters to their lairs in cold water. Otters are no longer considered pests. Therefore, Otterhounds have lost their original function, but fortunately, they have an exciting new job as willing companions of humans. They can get along well with children and other animals.
