| Guest | They are a non-shedding breed. However, like some rough terriers, you might need to strip the coat. I am not sure though. I do know they do not need clipping. |

| Guest | It's unfortunate that they are so rare. I think it would be a good idea for breeders to out cross to Airdale terrier and blood hound. |

| Guest | Apparently when on the scent/hunt the otter hound will become so fixated on the task in hand will ignore all commands . Apparently this stubborn trait or tenacity was so strong the otterhound was outcrossed into many breeds i have heard this from a source whom have been breeding dogs for decades anybody else heard similar.? |

| Guest | Why is dedication to a task at hand a behavioral problem? Being strong willed is not a behavior problem, its a degree of mental toughness rarely seen anymore. |

| Guest | As gary and others have stated this was what made the otter hound THE otter hunter it was. Otters are formidable predators for their size and the dog needed to be of such steely determination that once on the scent there was no backing down. Interestingly not name dropping just recalling a story my wife overheard being told allegedly by the late brian plummer that otterhound blood was introduced into pitbulls and terriers to add this specific characteristic . Any thoughts on this. |

| Registered: 27 Feb : 23:00 | Otterhound definitely features heavily in the airedale terrier (basically just an otterhound x terrier), never heard of it being in pitbull though, who knows. Totally possible it's there in a tiny percentage [ Contributor ] Location: Australia |

| Guest | tonedog i dont know whether it was suggested that it was in the make up of pitts or that mr plummer had introduced it into dogs for the reason i suggested , he was into the dog scene in many aspects the reason my wife got to hear this was family friends have bred bullmastiffs for 50 years mr plummer attempted i believe to recreate the old english alaunt and used these friends to add bullmastiff blood. How he got on im not sure but being the creator of the plummer terrier iis his greatest achievement to witness these dogs ratting is awesome their aptitude for this job is incredible . But the look of otterhounds the coat etc i would of thought hard to weed out once introduced but who knows iv,e seen a presa x american bulldog litter look like large jack russells lol.? |
