that sounds sooooo familar. my husband and i are also bringing our german sheppard and our budget is round about the same. i'm heading out next week on the hunt for our villa, so i'll keep you informed. so far the best deal i've found is a 4 bed unfinished 240m2 villa in mobarak 7 for £38,880 and about £15 to £20 k to finish to a high standard
