Hi David,
I'm sorry you are not happy with your ad so far.
I see you did get 1 inquiry via the messaging system. We do have 16 other ads for Rottweilers, so there is a bit of competition. I've updated your ad to put the first image of one of your pups show its face, they tend to do better. Your ad has gotten some views, over 200, since it was posted. Hopefully you will get some calls soon.
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your review, I'm sorry you are not 100% happy with the service. To be fair to all breeders, ad prices are the same for hobby breeders, Registered Sellers of Pets or Dog Breeding Establishments.
If you are VAT registered we can accept your VAT number and take that off the cost ads. If you email support@dogs.ie we can help you set that up.
Hi Tristan
Thanks for your review, and I’m sorry you are not 100% happy with it.
If you enable the phone display option then anyone on the internet can see your number and contact you. You can disable it so people have to contact you through the website instead.
In your review you mention illegal breeders. If you can share some more information about this to support@dogs.ie we can have a look into it.
Hi Lorna
Thanks for your review and I'm sorry you are not 100% happy with things.
We had to lock descriptions as people started selling different dogs in the same ad once they were sold. This led to issues with ads with inaccurate information. If you contact support@dogs.ie at any time we can update the description with any changes you need.
“Good site as I did sell my dog, however there is an awful amount of scamming going on with this site, people from England contacting and I have used this site in the past to buy a pup and someone wanted me to send them money and they would courier the dog. If there was a way for this site to clamp down on scammers it would be great.”
“The site and response was good, but 50 euros to sell ONE puppy, who I was only asking 150 euros for was far too expensive. Price for one pup should be much less. I get it if you have a litter of ten, but not one dog.”
Hi Pam
Thanks for your review, and I'm sorry you are not 100% happy with the pricing.
We do share the costs publicly before you purchase an ad, so there shouldn't be any surprises. The cost of an ad has not changed in almost 3 years.
For simplicity we have a single price per ad. We used to charge per dog before but people tended not put out all dogs into their ads when there was an individual cost per dog.
Thanks for your review Michael & Paul, I'm sorry you don't feel it to be user-friendly. Can you share some details about how we could achieve this? We always appreciate feedback to support@dogs.ie
We do know that the ad has many fields, and we are working on a way to help people create better descriptions in the coming weeks, hopefully that will make posting an ad a bit easier.
“I think the page is good but there should be 5 free bumps as 50e is expensive to advertise, plus I really think the add edit system should be able to be accessed because what if circumstances change and you need to write down more. Or you should have wrote more and then regretted the description.”

Hi Stephen
Thanks for your review and feedback.
I’m sorry you are not happy with the navigation on the site. Can you share where you are having difficulty and I can see if we can help improve it somehow
Hi Dean
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It could be the price that’s the issue. Your dogs look great but are also the top joint most expensive with one other ad for French Bulldogs out of the 26 ads in the category.
Hi Anon,
You can edit the price and the ad title, as well as the images.
We have had to lock the description / breed & microchip information on ads, as people were selling multiple dogs from the same ad.
If you let me know what you'd like changed I can edit it for you.
“Would be better if could use Revolut. Also, a bit expensive for the ad to be posted. Not able to post it on donedeal, Facebook, so it feels monopolised.”
Hi Anon,
Revolut being blocked is due to a higher level of fraud from these virtual cards. We work hard to keep buyers and sellers safe on the platform.
There are many other websites that sell dogs including https://wellbred.ie/ , https://petbond.ie/, https://www.pedigreedogs.ie/ , https://dogdeals.ie/ https://dogsforsaleireland.ie/ https://familypets.ie/ https://petsforsale.ie/ and https://www.loveapet.ie/ some of them are free and some of them have a charge. Dogs.ie is currently the most popular website by visitor count for dogs for sale.
Facebook doesn't allow animals sales for private individuals. They would be responsible for that policy.
Hi Anon , thanks for your review. Our prices are up front and can be seen before you place your ad and there shouldn't be any confusion or surprise about this.
“Site was much better b4 it changed. I now find it much more difficult to use and not at all user friendly. Difficult to search for dog breeds or search by location. I cant apply the search filters at all”
Hi Kevin,
Sorry you are not happy with the search.
What type of searches are you trying to do ? If you do breed and then county, like https://dogs.ie/sale/cocker-spaniel?county=cork you should get results that way.

“Puppies still for sale . A few messages but do not think they are genuinely interested. I like to speak to people over phone or in person to get a feel for them . It’s important to me for my little puppies”
