Adopting a Otterhound

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Otterhound - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt an Otterhound at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting an Otterhound ranges between $200 and $500, which covers the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption and often includes spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and other medical care. In contrast, buying an Otterhound from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Generally, you can expect to pay between $1,500 and $3,000 for a well-bred Otterhound puppy.

The easiest way to adopt an Otterhound is through a rescue that specializes in Otterhounds. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Otterhounds in your area.

More rare than the Giant Panda, the Otterhound is considered one of the most endangered dog breeds in the world!
