04 Otterhound Temperament
The Otterhound standard says that the breed is "amiable, boisterous
and even tempered". Basically these are big friendly dogs, but with a
mind of their own. Otterhounds are affectionate, but don't demand
attention all the time. They are generally good with other dogs and
with other animals if they are raised with them or introduced to them
carefully. Many Otterhound owners also have cats, and contrary to what
some sources may lead you to believe, they get along well; these
hounds are quite willing to include most two and four legged members

with kids, too, but a young Otterhound is big and likely to be klutzy
and may not be the best companion for a wobbly toddler or a frail
elderly person.
