Default What is a "Rotter".....

They are Canadian dogs bread locally and exclusively in the Ottawa area.........

.... they can be vicious if disturbed......

........... usually found hiding under a pile of junk.....

Their specialty is sniffing out old CMP remains......

See picture below....

Default ROTTERS...

........ will soon become an endangered species in New Brunswick where I live. Due to their extremely predatory practices in the hunt for all things CMP, we here in the sunny Maritimes have declared an open season and no bag limit on these varmints. They will travel considerable distances from their home range to hunt, and due to the scarcity of our herd of CMPs, these slavering predators will be shot on sight, or at least chastised in the strongest possible terms. Occasionally when I travel to their home range, I have been able to observe their diverse feeding habits. Beside their insatiable appetite for CMPs, they have been observed to eat vast quantities of meat,fish, and sometimes chicken and deep fried potatoes, washed down with copious quantities of fermented barley. They are a sight to behold when they are doing the former and attempting to attract females of a questionable age. As you can see they are a species to be watched over closely.
Cheers, Bill

......and don't think dropping mothballs all around your cmp corrall will keep this species away because it won't..they have extremely acute olfactory glands which allow them to sniff out rust, grease, and old milspec canvass for miles. like a flock of seagulls hunting for stray herring, they hone in on the scent, and pounce on their prey all at once. before you know it another cmp has been taken captive. i have been told by a highly reliable source that if one were to pile parts from japanese cars around a cmp that i may throw the rotter off track a bit :idea:

Boobee... this particular Rotter ain't that afr from the source of red sunsets (saharan dust in the atmosphere).

Having lived in the sahara for a year in my younger days the killer will be all the bribes you have to pay to cross borders (real and robber baron imposed)!
