The Otterhound Club of America was founded in 1960, and is recognized
by the American Kennel Club as the official "parent" club of the
Otterhound in the United States. All OHCA members agree to abide by a
Code of Ethical Conduct. The Club publishes a bi-monthly newsletter
and holds a National Specialty every year, which "floats" to different
parts of the country. The 1996 National Specialty was held in San
Diego in November. The 1997 Specialty will be held in Manitowoc
Wisconsin September 13th.
The OHCA also sponsors a Regional Specialty in Louisville Kentucky
every March, and occasionally supports entries in other shows. These
Specialties and supported entries are good chances to meet several
Otterhounds and their people. Otterhounds are only represented at
approximately 1/3 of all AKC all-breed dog shows.
