OTTERHOUND Puppy Dogs

OTTERHOUND Puppy Dogs

Bred to hunt otters, this is one of the first documented English breeds. It loves water.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION of Dogs.

Rustic, kind of messy and adorable, this unconditional water lover, mischievous and with its own ideas, needs to be controlled with a firm hand. But if you allow it to let the steam off outdoors, it can be quiet at home. This is may not be the most suitable breed of dog for those kinds of people that are always presuming about their always neat houses. Besides that, it is very noisy and calls its master with the characteristic howling-barking of the hunting dogs. Sweeter and more pleasant than the majority of the tracker and racing dogs, it even gets along well with children; it is tolerant with other dogs and friendly with humans.
