Otterhound
Webbed-footed hunting dog
An Otterhound is a large, shaggy-coated hound originally bred in England to hunt otters.
The breed has a keen sense of smell, webbed feet, and a rough double coat suited for swimming in cold water.
With otter hunting now banned, the breed has become rare, kept mainly as a companion dog by enthusiasts.
