Hi Weronika,
Thanks for your review. The ad has been seen over 400 times since it was published.
The ad price is listed on the higher end of prices for Yorkies at the moment.
Also the IKC registration is still pending, perhaps once this is processed it will help your ad stand out a bit more.
Hi Karla
Thanks for your review, we’re sorry you are not entirely happy. Looking at your ad, I’d recommend you upload more images. You can add up to 10 in there.
I would also think the price point may be too high for people. For non-pedigree dogs €2000 might be outside what a buyer is prepared to pay.
Your ad has been seen almost 800 times.
Hi Shane
I’m sorry you are not happier with your ad. Your ad has been seen almost 500 times since it was published.
You did receive two enquiries via our messaging system. Please check them out.
Looking at your ad you don’t have a phone listed publicly, you can add that to make it easier for people to contact you. Info here https://help.dogs.ie/knowledge-base/phone-number-in-ads/

Thanks for your review and I’m sorry you are not happy. Selling older dogs, like your 1 year old cross breed, is definitely more difficult as there is significantly less demand. I’d recommend you had more images to your ad, you have 2 listed but you can add up to 10 to give people a better idea about the dog.
The price for an ad is upfront before you pay for it. So there shouldn’t be any surprises about the cost to place an ad.
Please contact us at support@dogs.ie to get some more ideas about how to help find a home for this dog.
Hi Anon,
I'm sorry you are not entirely happy with things.
If you need more time on your ad or help with the ad, please contact support@dogs.ie and we can try to help you find a new home for your dog.
Hi Eugene
I’m sorry you are not happy with your ad. It has been seen over 300 times since it was posted.
Your ad is under the general terrier section for your Wire Haired Fox Terrier puppies. It’s really not the best to have your ad in a breed category on its own and it’s less likely to be found. We only get a handful of Wire Haired Fox Terrier ads each year so adding an extra breed wouldn’t really help you, it’s best to have these rarer breeds in a general category.
Looking at your ad is recommend adding in another few images. You have uploaded 2 to your ad. Ads with 4 or more do best. You can upload up to 10 images.
“I think things are slow in general but I've had just one time wasting response, the time the add is online for is too short especially for this time of the year sales are slow”
Hi Louise
I’m sorry you are not happy with your ad.
One tip could be to enable your phone number to be shown in your ad, it’s been seen over 450 times since the ad was posted 4 days ago.
Over the extra warm bank holiday weekend we would think that more people were enjoying being outdoors and the weather rather than planning on visiting breeders to see dogs for sale.
If you bump your ad it also will add additional time to your ad.
Hi J,
Sorry you are not 100% happy with your ad experience. Looking at your ad we have a few pointers
1) Images: You can add up to 10 images, you've only added 4 far, so I"d recommend adding some more if you have them.
2) Competition : We currently have 29 other ads, also selling Frenchies, so there is a bit of a competition between breeders
3) Price : Your dogs may be on the higher side of what we are seeing being sold right now
4) Phone number : You have not enabled your phone number to be visible in the ad.
Please contact us at support@dogs.ie and we can help with some of this.
Hi Anon,
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.
I'm sorry you are not happy with our 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.
“Thanks for asking for my opinion. I have given dogs. ie only 1 star. I have not received any responses or inquires from my advertisement with you. I have found homes for all the but via social media and a free add in the uk. I could not be recommend dogs.ie as a feasible way of trying to sell pups.”
Hi Aoife,
I'm sorry you were not happy with your ad on dogs.ie . In the last 4 days there was over 200 views on your ad.
Looking closer at your ad, you do have great photos of your dog. We did see you had only enabled people to contact you via the dogs.ie messaging system, ads that have phone numbers / whatsapp messages enabled tend to get more contacts. For IKC registered Staffordshire Bull Terriers there is a spread of prices and some people have listed their dogs for significantly less than the male dog you listed with us. The ad didn't have the IKC flag checked when you submitted the ad, this might have also caused less people to contact you, despite it's pedigree.
Hi Emma
I’m sorry you are not happy with thr ad so far.
We had to lock descriptions as people were changing ads to try to sell other dogs. If you reply to support@dogs.ie with the changes we can help you straight away.
Hi Eamon
I’m sorry you are not happy with your ad. Looking at it, it could be that the price is a bit high for a Retriever X Border Collie mix at €300 even though it’s been seen almost 800 times.
Looking at similar ads yours would be one of the more expensive. If you reach out to support@dogs.ie we can help to optimise your ad for you.
Hi Ewa
We currently have an issue with some users and their messages. Sorry about this inconvenience.
Messages have only been unavailable since today, Saturday 1/4/23 and should be fixed overnight. As your ad has already been open since March 16th, it doesn't qualify for a refund. Prices are stated up front when you place an ad for a dog for sale.
Hi Kenny,
I'm sorry you are not happy about the cost of an ad.
Ad prices are upfront. There are many other platforms that you can also sell your dog on, some of them are free. We feel it's a bit unfair to complain about the price when you know what it costs before you buy an ad.
“I have spent €62 on my add. Its has 1231 views, 27 phone click but not 1 message or phone call. I tried another way of advertising the pups after 4 days and sold 6 pups within 2 days. Very disappointing”
Hi Wayne
I'm sorry you haven't had a better experience so far.
Looking at your ad, the price for the Labs at €600 does seem a little high when compared with the other ads. There are over 50 ads in this category right now so there is a lot of competition between breeders. I've reformatted your ad a little to see if that can help with getting some more attention.
Hi Anon
I’m sorry you are not happy with the price or length of the ad.
Generally dogs sell much quicker than 30 days, especially if dogs are set at a fair price. We are up front about the terms before you post an ad.
