You don't mention what breed he his but there are hundreds of expat dog owners here and our dogs all cope. Yes it gets hot in the summer but walking early morning and late night is fine and generally their energy levels drop in the summer as well.
Dogs are allowed on most beaches though it's advisable to take them when their not too busy. There is a beach known as the Mangroves, and although it's a bit of a drive, it's beautiful there and has plenty of space for dogs to run and sniff all the trees! You're almost guarenteed to run into other dog owners whilst you're there.
There are several dog-sitters for when you go on vacation and you can always do a deal with another dog owner that you look after each others dogs when you're on vacation :)
If you have any questions about owning dogs in Qatar - post messages on the Dogs in Doha and Qatar Animal Welfare Society facebook pages. You're not the first person to question whether bringing your dog over is a good idea or not but no-one I know that has brought their pet over has regretted it.
Bring your dog.
