Despite a deliberate, unhurried manner at times and captivating clownish demeanor, the Otterhound possesses great intelligence and an innate ingenuity. He seems to be a fantastic problem solver when motivated by his own interests especially when food might be involved. One owner reported her dog was able to open the refrigerator and the oven and most can figure out how to get ice from the front of a refrigerator dispenser. With a big personality, he excels at getting his “people” to do his bidding. It may be through mental telepathy or sad eyes he asks for a tasty morsel at the table or manages ever so grandly to hurl his 100 pounds into your lap! You will discover quickly that your Otterhound thinks of himself as a small lapdog!

Whether walking in the rain, digging to the other side of the planet or resting on your couch, the Otterhound will inspire you to all sorts of emotions from aggravation at his not so tidy ways to becoming a kaleidoscope of amusing configurations, all cleverly orchestrated to win us over. And win us over he does. Boisterous and sociable in nature, the even tempered Otterhound is extreme in her loyalty to master and family but she should quickly make friends after announcing the arrival of strangers. Some say the Otterhound will happily share the location of all family valuables! Don't count on your Otterhound to be a guard dog.
