a rotwiler or an alaskan malmute
i live in a big house with an huge garden he would have really special care and a nice healthy place to live in with me and my family if intrested please reply the sooner the better
First of all, as JJ said, you can't "adopt" a purebred dog. It just doesnt happen! If you want a specific breed then you will need to import one as the ones bred in Qatar are generally inbred and have many problems with their health and temperment. Occasionally the clinics and shelter will have purebreds for adoption but these are normally adults.
Rottweilers are a banned breed so you will not be able to import one into the country without special permission and licensing. They are a breed that needs an experienced owner who has lots of time to train them to ensure they do not grow up to be anti-social. A rotty is not a beed you can just put in the garden and leave as you will end up with an aggressive and unpredictable dog.
A malamute is a seriously bad breed to have in Qatar. Take it from me - I have 2 here. They shed all over your house constantly and can't be outside for more then 10 minutes at a time. Even in the winter they can't be outside on their own as it can still be too hot for them. Their coat needs grooming daily, they need frequent baths as their faeces gets stuck in the hair around their backsides and they're a difficult breed to train. To import one you're looking at QR10,000+ and they are an expensive breed to keep as they eat a lot and can have a lot of health issues.
Have you had dogs before as you've picked two of the most difficult breeds of dog to own in a country like Qatar? Have you had personal experience with these breeds as both are very energetic, are VERY strong and need lots of training?
to me and you. Introducing a new dog into the pack takes time and patience. Most of the dogs who get rehomed are returned within a few days because of these teething troubles. I suggest you decide whether you really want the dog and if you do you can get loads of help. If you don't, and it isn't a bad thing, sometimes it is braver to decide that it isn't working especially if it is making your home somewhere you don't want to be, then the vet clinic will rehome her. They do have problems with crowding but don't worry, the owner is a good man, he is a very caring person and doesn't put dogs to sleep without careful consideration and in the 3 years i have worked for him I haven't seen him euthanise a healthy dog.
The fact of the matter is that there are too many stray dogs and with the best will in the world not enough homes even when kind people such as yourself foster them. This is a simple mathematic sum, the supply way outweighs the demand. Something has to give. The overcrowding at the clinics and shelters is not a money issue, more hygiene, noise and the standard of care you can give to overcrowded animals being reduced. The clinic has to give priority to the sick patiens and boarders, we have a duty of care to provide the best available care. How would you feel if your dog died from Parvo while you were on vacation because an unvaccinated stray had been kept in his boarding room? Vets clinics foot the bill for a huge amount of strays in Doha as do QAWS and the government who neuter dogs and cats for free but it isn't enough. I know this sounds like I am ranting at you, I really am not, this is to the people who dump their un neutered dogs when they leave the country or get cute puppies and then dump them when they are untrained pain in the neck teenagers.
If you need ANY behavioural and training advice please contact me, I am happy to help you. And, if you have to send her back, don't feel too bad, you have done your best. All the best JJ
When you say adopt you mean get for free. I don't think it is likely that people are going to give you a dog of these breeds for free when it would cost at least 10,000QR to import one.
If you want to buy one and import it please don't breed it, there are too many dogs that need homes already here and not enough genes to produce healthy designer dogs, the people who have tried to make money in Doha by breeding trendy designer dogs have created some very sick dogs who suffer then die.
Hi guys, I adopted a pup from QAWS after the fire then another pup last sat due to the vets being over run with animals and the owner of the vet wanting to put them all down!
However, my first pup does not get on with 2nd and will not let her settle. He keeps trying to bite her all the time.
I have contacted the vets where I got her from but to be honest, if she goes back she may be put down through no fault of her own!
She is 5 month aprox and a saluki cross. She is quite timid and very very good with children, I have 2 and have not had one problem.
It saddens me to want to give her away but I couldn't settle as long as the 2 dogs are together. If anyone is interested in adopting her from me please pm me.
Why Rottweilers or Malamutes? The latter are not suited for this climate at all.
Do you have experience with these breeds? Have you done your research?
It is important that a dog go to the right home, not just one with the money and the space. The owner has to be right too.
Not saying you're not a good owner, but these breeds need some research and some soul searching to decide if you are indeed ready to look after one properly.
