The dog is an otterhound. Otterhounds were usually kept in packs and the breed is an unusual choice for a shepherd’s dog, although the Kennel Club describes otterhounds as ‘aimiable and even-tempered’. The reference to a shepherd’s dog in the title dates from the first catalogue of The Wallace Collection’s paintings, published in 1900, rather than earlier inventories. The inscription has been crudely added, probably by a later hand.
