Hi everyone!

I will be living in Cairo this year and i'm searching for someone/somewhere i can buy a TOY BREED puppy.
Either; Bolognese (which is rare i know) or Maltese or King Charles spaniel breeds.

So far, all my research has failed! I've checked out www.petsmarche.com.

But i'm looking for anywhere else?

Help much appreciated.

Thanks guys

But these are not in egypt Sadeegy and i guess she is looking for someone who has this breed here in cairo [Smile]

Ooops...sorry! [Roll Eyes]

I didn't find dogs breeders in Cairo, but maybe you could ask at some pets owners clubs.
Due to the fact that you share a similar interest, maybe they will be able to provide you the information you need. Good luck! [Smile]

Hi Miss S.... there are a lot of small white fluffy dogs in Hurghada known as 'Lulu dogs' .. maybe ask a vet or pet shop if they know of any Lulu dogs!!

Samia isnt it that Griffon type?? that one is so arrogant..
Btw Sadeegy i have a Bolognese puppy but even when i go to vet here in cairo the doctor has no idea what kind of a dog it is..this breed is not common here at all unless someone brought it from europe like me.I wanted a yorkishire terrier but that breed is also not known here.

Hi viva my friend...... long time no see!!! [Smile]

Not sure... maybe a griffon... just a small white fluffy ball..... we found one in the street in Hurghada 2 years back..... dirty skinny, covered in fleas..and wandering the streets.... she was really cute.... sorted her out and gave her to a woman who took her to Germany!!

For the puppies, i think you can get cheap ones really easily. Or even sometimes free, egypt is full of bastards that want masters.

And why want higher quality dogs when the most important thing is to have company?

Posted by Samia (Member # 4691) on :

I wouldn't have put it quite like that, but I agree with your sentiment!!! Egyptian baladi dogs are highly intelligent and make excellent pets!!! And there are too many puppies on the street!!!

CUTE

Sure! I'm not saying "egyptian dogs" are not good enough lol But the point is the size of the dog, i'm looking for a very small one that would be perfect for apartment life/travelling.

Plus you have to take into account that not all homeless older dogs are suitable to live with a family because of psychological/behavioural problems.

And the fact that i have alot of love for those breeds i mentioned.

But i accept that point! And its definitely something to look into.

Posted by Samia (Member # 4691) on :

Miss S.... I would never suggest taking an adult dog from the streets... it would never work... but these dogs often have 6-8 puppies, and only maybe 1 or 2 survive!!!

Posted by MissSalsa (Member # 10273) on :

It's really sad that they are not respected at all in society.

Do you do any work with animals Samia?

Why not have one sent over from england???

Diving with them!!! [Big Grin]

One of my last dives before I came home recently was a dive with a pod of 22 dolphins..... awesome!!!
The last work I did with animals was last year, I spent my birthday helping our local Hurghada vet, Sameh, to abort 8 puppies and sterilise a street dog, who was less then 2 years old and on her 3rd litter..... she was very weak and in danger of dying!!!
She's fine now... back on the street, fit, healthy and strong!!!
Reminded me of my first ever job..... trainee vet nurse in Belgravia, London.
