The Otterhound's rough, oily, water-repellent double coat is built for cold swimming and should not be softened by over-bathing. Tidy the dense outer jacket by hand-stripping or carding to keep its harsh texture, and rinse the beard often since it traps food and water. Always check between the pads and inside those heavy drop ears.
