Levantine, excluding Bedouins and Alawites and some others. Egyptian Arabic supplements the Q with a glottal stop. > I guess it doesn't become k to not confuse with "dog" right? Qaf (Q) is usually turned into گ‎/gaf (G) in some accents (gulf, bedouin levantine). Kaf (K) is sometimes turned into چ‎/che (CH) in the northern Gulf accents. It's not very common at all for a Q to drift its way into a K and is usually considered mispronunciation.
