You would sell it quicker on buyandsell but it's the way you word it. Just stick up the add with the price and text for info. They can't do u for that??
I see ads with springers "working" ???
Terriers also with "giving Tongue" "working well"
Labs Working well , good in rough cover ?

But as it was stated it's a private site, so it's theirs rules:(

All of which, by the way, is probably why donedeal don't do our stuff.

It's seems to be a fairly arbitrary delineation between what they find inappropriate and what they find acceptable. Granted, many people find hunting (with dogs and gun) distasteful, and personally, I don't partake, but that's my peroggative. I would defend the right of others to do so. As long as nobody lamps around my house (where dogs, cats, horses, people etc. all wander at night), I don't much care as long as the relavent laws are abided by. I grew up in the country and it's always been a part of life. But then when does that stop townies and the nouveau culchí from know better what the yokels should occupy themselves with?
Why, however, the good folk at Done Deal find chasing down foxes and hares with a pack of hounds and dozens of garishly dressed riders on large horses acceptable, is beyond me.
It's not the action of the uninformed either. A casual urbanite with no interest, one way or the other, is unlikely to know many breeds and what their "work" may be. A lurcher is not a particularly high profile breed.
Hunting, as discussed here, is not illegal. Having a "policy" is all well and good, but allowing references to foxhunting and not shooting shows it to be a discriminatory policy. Either justify the discrimination, or ban all mention of hunting or alternatively, allow all mention.
It's really probably not worth the bother persuing it though. Shame, as it irks. Joe Duffy would probably not be the forum to bring it up.:rolleyes:

It'd be a lot neater. For the moment though, that's what our For Sale section here is for (and presumably a lot of what's in there now in terms of ethos and rules would make it across any future transition - but we're not talking weeks here, we're talking long-term).

this is their policy on the sale of dogs as you can see they restrict the selling of dogs that are used to kill or hunt other animals
take it anyway you want it means there policing themselves as is their right but i think that we as a shooting community should make everyone who shoots know that we should not buy or sell on this site

Dog Policy
Policy on Puppy Farming

We do not tolerate puppy farms on our web site.

We love dogs in all shapes and sizes and would hate to think that puppy farmers use our web site in their despicable dealings.

We reserve the right to monitor ads on DoneDeal.ie and we reserve the right to report suspected puppy farms/farmers to the Gardai, PSNI, the ISPCA and/or any other authority or organisation that we feel is appropriate. If ads are posted on DoneDeal.ie in breach of this policy we reserve the right to remove them from the Website without giving notice to the advertiser or refunding any fee paid.

We retain the right to make judgment as to whether an advertiser or user of the Website is a puppy farmer.

Please help us keep our site free from puppy farmers, your help is much appreciated.
What You Should Do

If you find any ads that you suspect are from puppy farmers, please contact the local SPCA immediately.

Tell the inspector where you found the ad, we help the SPCA with information about ads, breeds, contact details, and any other information that helps the investigation.

Please let us know if you have any other ideas how we can make life more difficult for puppy farmers.
What We Do

We monitor all dog ads. Any person who advertises too many breeds or too often is permanently banned from using DoneDeal again.
We let rescue centres re-home animals through our web site for free. This has helped SPCAs find new homes for a large number of dogs, cats, and other animals. If you work with an SPCA club, please contact us for information about how you can re-home animals for free through DoneDeal.
We have a number of rules that go beyond Irish law. For example, we don’t allow ads that mention or imply that dogs should kill other animals, we don’t allow ads that mention Christmas, and we don’t allow ads for shipping animals.
We help the ISPCA and Gardai with information about ads, breeds, contact details, and anything else that helps the them investigate an ad or breeder on DoneDeal.
We give 50% of our revenues from the dog section to projects for education and legislation through PetAware.ie.
We lobby for more effective legislation to stop puppy farmers in Ireland.
We educate our visitors how to buy a pet and how to avoid puppy farms.

Stop Dog Fights

In Ireland, “Pit Bulls” are the breed of choice for dog fights, due to their strength, courage and dog-aggressive tendencies. Although dog fighting is illegal in Ireland (Cruelty to Animals Act 1911), it is still practiced, and is usually accompanied by gambling.

Pit Bulls that are used in fights are often brutalized and abused to make them “mean”, and may be terribly maimed or killed during the fight.

We at DoneDeal.ie grew up with dogs as close and loving family members, and we believe that dogs make a lovely addition and company to any family. Therefore we would hate to think that DoneDeal.ie is used by people involved with dog fights.

We appeal to members of the public with any information about dog fighting activities to please contact the Gardai.
The Pit Bull

Dog fighters are the minority among pit bull owners. Some people who own these breeds direct their dogs’ plentiful energy toward nonviolent athletic tasks. Some people train their pit bulls for dog agility. Others involve their pit bulls in weight pulling competitions or obedience competitions. The pit bull often excels at these sports.

Pit bulls have gained a fearsome reputation among the general public due to negative media attention, but those familiar with the breed generally attest to its friendly disposition, especially toward children and small animals, earning it the nickname “the nanny dog”.
Pit Bulls or Related Breeds are not Allowed on DoneDeal.ie

After discussing the problem with dog fights in Ireland with the ISPCA and IKC we have decided not to allow Pit Bulls, Bull Terriers and related breeds to be advertised on DoneDeal.ie.
Staffordshires

Some breeds may be visually similar to the Pit Bull, for example the Staffordshires. As these breed names are sometimes used by unscrupulous dealers to advertise Pit Bulls we have decided not to allow these breeds on DoneDeal at the moment.
Avoid Confusion – Use Photos

Some unscrupulous breeders have used other related breed names (e.g. American Bulldog, Terriers, etc) to advertise Pit Bulls. Due to this problem we require that any ad that can be misunderstood for a Pit Bull must include a photo of the dog, showing clearly that it is not a Pit Bull being advertised.

If you are advertising pups, make sure to include at least the bitch in the photo, to avoid confusion.
Other Policies
No “Christmas Pets”

Pets are for life, not only for Christmas. Therefore ads must not contain any references that encourage people to buy a pet specifically for Christmas.
No Shipping

It is important to see a puppy’s parents and the breeder’s facilities before buying a pet. Therefore we do not accept any ads that involve shipping animals.
No Killing Prey

We do not like the idea of dogs killing prey (e.g. foxes, badgers, deer, etc), as it can be a cruel experience for the prey, or the dog, or both. Therefore we do not accept ads that imply that the dog could/should be used for such activity. Also, we do not accept ads that mention or imply ‘digging’ or ‘lamping’.

Follow ISPCA Recommendations

The ad must follow the recommendations from the ISPCA.
Thank You for Your Support

We hope our users appreciate that we are doing this in the interest of the dogs.

We have these rules to prevent the small number people who abuse dogs from advertising on DoneDeal.ie. Unfortunately this means that genuine dog owners cannot advertise their pets either.

i dont think donedeal realise how hunting is a way of life for many people also it keeps a lot of the young lads around the country out of trouble there is 5 or 6 good young lads in my area that spending there day or night hunting and that keeps them young lads from drinking taking drugs and getting up to no good and thats only a good thing as there is nothing for young people to do i many parts for this country if they are hunting there are being frowned upon and told its not right if they are drinking they will be know as trouble makers if they are sitting around the house doing nothing they are called lazy lumps so i dont know where it will stop

Must say i have to totally agree with this! As i fall into this category of people. 19 and like to go out shooting with the gun, dont drink or smoke or drugs or nothing and yet your given a bad name from people who think your irresponsible and just have it to shoot signs or cause damage to someones property!:mad: There is always some people in all walks of life who push there luck

Ireland is europes number one puppy farm operator. Most of these puppy farms advertise on done deal. If adverts are getting removed that is a good thing - it means somebody cares. The appauling conditions animals are bred in here in this country is disgusting and people need to wake up.
