Fortunately, this description was made by William twistor, hunter. He describes them as wire-type dogs – “between the beagle and terrier.” Hunting otters never belonged to the main types of hunting in England, but apparently there was a very long time. First, it involved because the otter too actively exterminating the fish in rivers and streams, and later she gained popularity due to the fact that it was the only kind of hunting, from April to September. Flowering otterhound in England came in the mid to late XIX century. In those days there were 18 – 20 flocks that are regularly hunted the entire season.

Other authors mention the Bloodhound, arguing that domed skull, and long ears. In fact, Turbervil, who chronicled the hunt for otters back in 1575, makes no distinction between the Bloodhound and otterhaundom.
