we brought our border collie out here and he loves nothing more than spending the weekend at the beach hes in heaven! Its hard finding somewhere to walk them on a daily basis i have to drive my boys to a decent enought sized space to walk them! We also so far have collected another dog to our family! be warned there are lots of stray dogs around and if your anything like us you will end up with more dogs! But it worth it, the kennels where they board they love like crazy they get so excited when they get there, and the vet we use out here is way better than the vet we used in the uk! Good luck! But keep your dog on a leash if he tend to run off in public places as a lot of dogs out here do go missing.

Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand martini in the other screaming oh what a ride"
