too expensive for 5 days of advertising

It seemed like a standard format for listing anything, photo, title, or description. You need to enter the microchip numbers. I didn't know the cost when I began the ad but in the end it came to €50 for 4 pups to go on the site. It's been about 10 years since I advertised a litter so I thought it was a lot but there aren't any other sites for selling pups so there's no other option. I was glad to have them on the site. It's hard to tell when you've got a message so you have to keep checking your emails or the site regularly. You can change to Watts App once you've had the first message which I think is much better. After 4 days, with 3 out of the 4 pups booked, I saw the bump button saying there were 3 more bumps available, so I chose to bump the ad that weekend. I couldn't believe that another payment of €15 was needed for that. I think €65 is far too much for 5 days of advertising compared with other for-sale websites. I was glad it didn't run another weekend and require another €15 bump. I wanted to change the ad but the edit button wouldn't let me update the description for the 1 pup that was left. I could only change the chip number and the status of pups that had sold or were on hold. The site can change the description for you if you pick that option, but I thought the description it gave me sounded really fake and was overly sweet and generic and not how people actually talk even if they love their pups so watch out if you see that over the top description, it comes from pressing a button and the website rewrites your ad. Stepford wives description. (perfect family, perfect life perfect puppy) That's not real life.

ensuring Bella was properly cared for

I have found the admin team a lot of help, and they carefully checked my information after I accidentally made a typo and fixed it. I wish dogs.ie would do more to help people who want to buy become more aware of what it means to buy a puppy or dog. I know I have learned so much over the last 2 weeks and quickly realised I wasn't ready for that much responsibility so I chose to make sure my puppy found the right home (a doggie day care with many other puppies and the person had plenty of experience with my breed who knew how to look after and give her the love and attention Bella needed). It was not about money but ensuring Bella was properly cared for and her needs mattered most.. we're so sad we needed to make this hard choice but Bella came before anything else. I wish more people had to show they were ready before they bought, and I wish sellers were more responsible as well… I was trying to research sellers and breeds that suited me, and I wish others would put in just as much effort, or even more. These puppies and dogs deserve much better Sincerely
