Long Haired Jack Russell dog in Dublin

Gorgeous long haired, Jack Russell Terrier looking for a new home.

We love this guy so much and we've had him from a puppy to now [4 years 9 months old], but we feel he would be better suited to a home with ONLY Adults/Teens as he can sometimes get nervous around younger kids (especially when they try treat him like a teddy bear!) This can carry over to him being protective and a bit aggressive with kids around his food etc. He is a lovely, energetic dog and loves being out for runs and walks and is not aggressive at all in this open environment to other dogs or people/kids! (..it was only an issue in the enclosed home space.) It will break our heart to see him go but we think he will be happier in an environment with mostly adults/teens around where he can be less stressed.

3. Report suspicious activity to your local Garda Station and to us via the Report ad button.
4. We recommend you print or save a copy of this page for your records in case the ad is updated / closed.

1. Ask sellers to provide an ID (driver's licence / passport) and take note of their contact details. You will also need to provide the same & a proof of address to transfer the microchip to your name.
2. Note microchip IDs posted here (981020000947115) and check the microchip certificates (important) when you visit to make sure they match and the sellers details are on the certificate too (see example microchip certificates).
3. Do not purchase a dog without seeing a microchip certificate. It is illegal to sell a dog without a microchip that's fully registered (info).
4. Do not purchase a dog from a seller in a car park or other business location.
5. Consider buying a puppy starter pack of essential items .
6. Ask sellers about the vet who has taken care of the dogs. Ask for the dog's vaccination certificate(s).
7. Use our contract template www.dogs.ie/contract or another as a basis for a written contract & ask for a written receipt.
8. It's best not to bring young kids to first meetings, to avoid disappointment in the case you decide not to buy a dog.
