The Otterhound Club of America was
founded in 1960. OHCA is a member club
of the American Kennel Club, 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 a Code
of Ethical Conduct. The Club publishes
a bi-monthly newsletter for its
membership and has held a
National Specialty every year
since 1981, which "floats" to
different parts of the country. The
2010 Specialty was held in Aliquippa,
Pennsylvania in October. The Specialty
in 2011 will be held in Eugene, Oregon
September 8th-11th.
The OHCA also sponsors a Regional
Specialty in Louisville Kentucky every
March, and occasionally supports
entries at other shows.
