Keeping a pet is a big responsibility they need regular exercise, grooming, medicine and most of all affection and your time are you up to to it

Many cute puppies available in Doha. Remember though, if it's just a cute puppy you want, you will have to dump in on the street after about 6 months and get a new one.

Parvovirus is very common at the moment. It is very important to get your puppy vaccinated (about 500QR), dewormed every 3 months (about 40QR), spayed/neutered (up to 800QR) when old enough, food, bedding, frontline (ticks also a big problem).

If you want a dog for life, you MUST train him when he is a puppy or else you will have problems. There is a very good trainer available in Doha to help you and there are also puppy classes.

Contrary to popular belief in this country, dogs DO need exercise, a walk at least once a day. You should not leave a dog at home for long periods. Most compounds have a ban on dogs, check first because if the neighbors or landlord calls the police, you may be in serious trouble.

Why not adopt a healthy, trained and happy dog from QAWS, if you really love animals you won't mind what colour/how pretty/how cute he is.
