He was the last puppy born \u2013 number 3 just like his Mom!   He was big (1lb 7oz), long and skinny.  Not very attractive &#8211; if you want to know the truth.  Then, he started eating.  Suddenly, long and skinny became round and cute.  While his siblings were wandering around the whelping box, he stayed close to the \u2018milk bar\u2019 for a few extra sips.  The transformation was hard to miss!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-20-Ozzy-1a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-20-Ozzy-1a-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ozzy - Day 20\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-20-Ozzy-1a-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-20-Ozzy-1a-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-20-Ozzy-1a-59x59.jpg 59w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-20-Ozzy-1a-141x141.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>For the first 4 weeks, Ozzy was a bully.  As the biggest puppy he was just dominating his siblings in play and competing for Mom\u2019s milk.  During week 5 something strange happened:  Ozzy figured that if he was more submissive, his brother and sister would play with him more!  He became this happy giant bear on the bottom of the puppy pile.  His new strategy worked REALLY well \ud83d\ude09   He was truly enjoying his new role.  Maybe because he knew he could get out from the bottom of the pile in a second, just by standing up.  After all he was still the biggest!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Ozzy-@-12-weeks-2010.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Ozzy-@-12-weeks-2010-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Ozzy @ 12 weeks (2010)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Ozzy-@-12-weeks-2010-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Ozzy-@-12-weeks-2010-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Ozzy-@-12-weeks-2010-59x59.jpg 59w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Ozzy-@-12-weeks-2010-141x141.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Ozzy is very playful and fearless.  Every day is a new adventure and an opportunity to make new friends.  Everywhere we go he can\u2019t wait to meet and greet people. These days, however, Ozzy prefers to hang out with his girls: Leeloo, Bella &#038; even Mamba.  Leeloo gives him an opportunity to stretch his legs and provides a wrestling challenge.  Bella is a full time playmate: they share toys, chewies and enjoy daily mayhem \ud83d\ude42  Bella can definitely keep up with Ozzy when all other dogs (and humans) are ready for a nap.

Even after a long run at the beach, he is ready for more fetch play with his favorite orange ball in the yard or in our living room. Ozzy permanently took over the toy box inventory duties from Leeloo just to keep himself entertained.  He\u2019s really good about sharing the toys with Bella and loves to engage us humans every chance he gets. Ozzy is a pretty good retriever: he loves playing fetch and catching a ball up in the air.

He was a bit rusty but it did not stop him from winning the Best of Breed prize.   Pretty awesome.   In April 2015, he won another Best of Breed at SoCal Hound Classic.   We are very pleased with our boy:  he grew up to be a very handsome hound!   At 4 years old, Ozzy is an impressive male with remarkable stature and great personality.

We decided to enter Ozzy in an IABCA show and follow the paw-steps of his Mom Mamba, who earned her IntCH title in 2010.  IABCA is a European-style dog show with more casual atmosphere than the AKC shows. Judges are much more approachable and they provide a written evaluation as part of the judging process.  It\u2019s refreshing to actually know what a judge is thinking about the dog and how they interpreted the breed standard.  And medals are much more fun that the ribbons \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-001-FILEminimizer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-001-FILEminimizer-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"2015-03-21 001 (FILEminimizer)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-11707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-001-FILEminimizer-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-001-FILEminimizer-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-001-FILEminimizer-59x59.jpg 59w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-001-FILEminimizer-141x141.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>   <a href=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-005-FILEminimizer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-005-FILEminimizer-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Ozzy @ IABCA Show (March 2015)\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-11708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-005-FILEminimizer-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-005-FILEminimizer-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-005-FILEminimizer-59x59.jpg 59w, https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-005-FILEminimizer-141x141.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-009-FILEminimizer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2015-03-21-009-FILEminimizer-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Ozzy -

At 15 months old, he just knew what needed to be done.  On the very morning we brought puppies home, he started guarding the whelping box and observing small creatures that Leeloo was vigorously protecting.  He was not discouraged by her growls, he was patiently watching and moving closer inch-by-inch. He was allowed to sniff the puppies at ~2 weeks old and he just fell in love!  Just could not stay away.  He was looking for every chance to get involved and help with cleaning duties.  As puppies got older, Ozzy became their favorite fuzzy toy.  He\u2019d simply lay down and let them climb all over his shaggy body, pull his ears and tail. He also stood guard when puppies were out in the yard, alerting us about potential dangers.  Just a perfect puppy-sitter \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-25-Ozzy-Puppies-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bluefairyotterhounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/Day-25-Ozzy-Puppies-4-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Day 25 - Ozzy &amp;
