Is it a good or bad idea to own a VERY Large Dog in Muscat City? by decagin

Hello, I will soon be moving to Muscat City. I would LOVE to bring my Best Friend, a very large Presa Canario. He is well behaved, easy to care for but I wonder about the problems I may encounter. Anyone have any suggestions or advice for us ...

Robert

I think a dog like this could offer you protection if you wander alone at night. It will also deter burglars. You can leave your phone on the carseat with your dog in the back, for example. Read More

Robert

How is it possible? You stay in school until 18. Then four years of college to get a nursing degree - bachelor. That is 22. So, something is woring with 19 year old bachelor. Normally, 21 year limitation would not cause any problem. Read More
