for muslims, there are only ONE breed of dog that can be considered, which is a special breed of hunting dog. One of the rarely known reasons is that muslims, at least those in old eras, view dogs not as a pet, but as a companion - for hunting, protection, etc.
It's a Saluki. just google it, retyping it won't serve any use. But if you've ever watched Hachiko the movie before, it's like that special bond lah between muslims and Saluki for thousands of years already. Some sects, like the Bedouins, regard the saluki as clean (can put in house, sleep together, etc). but only because of their lifestyle that it is clean.
not to say that you cannot bela a Husky lah. I used to take care of a German Shepherd before, outside of the house. samak wasn't a problem at all..... it's just like washing your hands, really. just that in my opinion if you bela because its cute ke, cantik ke, etc, that's not a normal consideration for muslims to own a companion dog as we don't see them as pets. but up to you ler.
