Hi Rene

German Shepherds are also on the controlled entry list into Qatar. I am bringing my boy with me when I relocate, but the paperwork is more than if I was bringing a poodle or labrador. I have to have pictures taken of him looking all cute and cuddly, socialising with people.....

I don't know how true it is, but apparently those particular breeds are frowned upon because of their black coloured faces and then having brown eyebrows. A vet told me that dogs with those markings are seen as demonic, something to do with the Koran's interpretation of Satan.

I would have thought it had something to do with those breeds reputations of being vicious.....

Can someone maybe shed more light on the subject?
