The Club

The Otterhound Club of America, Inc.  (OHCA) was founded in 1960.  OHCA is a member club of the American Kennel Club (AKC) and is recognized by the AKC as the official parent club of the Otterhound in the United States. All OHCA members are encouraged to sign and abide by the Code of Ethical Conduct. The Club publishes a bi-monthly newsletter for its membership and has held a National Specialty  every year since 1981.  


The OHCA sponsors an annual National Specialty in the fall and an annual Regional Specialty in Louisville, KY, in March.  Public Education events are held across the country throughout the year. Please visit our Events Calendar for details on these events and opportunities to meet an Otterhound up-close and personal.
