Otterhound
Otterhounds (80-115 pounds) are friendly, boisterous, and independent, great for active families with space. They’re good with kids but may be too robust for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, swimming or hiking) is essential; their shaggy coat needs weekly brushing.
Feed 4-6 cups daily of Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Chicken & Rice Formula, with 26% protein for their energy and joint health. Split meals to prevent bloat. Best for outdoor living with indoor access, they’re not for apartments or urban homes.
Training curbs wandering. Perfect for outdoorsy owners, Otterhounds thrive with water activities, not for sedentary or small-space lifestyles.
