I wouldn't reccoemnt buying any animals from the souq. They are seriously mistreated (you only have to go and see them kept in the cages and sprayed with water to see that) and by buying one of these animals you are only further encouraging the sellers to mistreat animals.
As others have said, there are better places to get animals (such as any of the vets who always have animals for adoption either in the centre or advertised on the boards).
Finally, please consider if you and your daughter are ready for a dog. I personally, wouldn't have a dog in a my small 2 bed flat. I do, however, have a cat. Dogs must be walked every day (even in the heat of summer),. What will you do if you go on annual leave? Dogs are more expensive to be looked after than cats because they need more attention. Are you ready to pay high vet bills if your pet gets sick and can you afford the right amount of food every day?
If you are confident that you are ready for a dog, then I wish you and your daughter the best of luck. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't encourage the people of the souq to continue mistreating animals by buying them from there. Give a homeless dog a loving home.
