Hello zsday,
I brought my dogs 2 years ago to Doha. I have 1 chocolate and 2 black Labs. They needed all their vaccinations, a Live Stock Import Permission from the Ministry Of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture. We had no problems but Doha isn't very pet friendly. There are some who likes dogs but most of them don't, often, because they're scared - especially of big dogs. A lot of people asked me if I would sell one of mine, but I would never do that - not for 1 million Euro's. They do a lot of dog fights here. I had a litter of 7 puppies here and I tried to find good homes for them. It wasn't easy and I did the best I could. Maybe you will see some of my puppies here, I had 4 chocolate and 3 black ones. We're leaving Doha in three weeks and I'm happy for my dogs - and for me! I think they changed the rules if you want to go back to the UK. Look at this homepage: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/pets/index.htm
We needed a rabies blood test to go back to Germany. They take the blood not earlier than 30 days after the last vaccination and you have to wait another 120 days before travelling - and no quarantine!
I hope you have a good time!
