I am sooooo cross I have to vent my feelings to people you will understand "where I'm coming from"!!
In our local paper today, there is an advert for "a breeding pair" of Rottviellers! £500 the pair, the bitch had wait for it.....29 pups last year and is "in season now, so pups will be ready for xmas".
It doesn't bear thinking about the life these dogs have led so far. I have reported it to the RSPCA but I am at a loss as to what else I can do.

Is there not a Rottie Rescue Centre?   They might be prepared to take them - even pay for them - I don't know whether they would have the funds for that - in order to prevent further Rotties turning up in Rescue later :(

Good thinking Margot!
I don't know of a Rottie Rescue on the Isle of Wight. Does anybody else?

Hi - Have you tried contacting one of the Rottie breeders over here :

(you can find their full info actually on champdogs under rottie breeders)

They may know of a rescue.
