There are a lot of people here in qatar with dogs, and you sound like you've got him under control, so thats fine.

You're bound to find people with dogs to socialise with. Unfortunately I'm living in Dukhan now, so we don't come to Doha with the dogs anymore else I'd meet you up with my two :-)
Who are you having bring him out? I used Airpets, down near heathrow. I had all the paperwork done here for their arrival at dohavets - I'll dig out the numbers for them both if you need.
