i know muslims who have dogs, but all of them are outdoor dogs. I know it is haraam to keep an indoor dog for any reason, even for guarding the home, since dogs are unclean and angels don't bless people with indoor dogs.

i want a great dane to guard my house, since no one wants to mess with a dog the size of a pony, and where i live, braking into houses is not uncommon.

but if you keep an outdoor dog, does it have to be a guard dog? or can she be an outdoor companion that i play fetch with? plus, i need to exercise more. if i take my outdoor dogs for a walk, to meet my exercise needs and my dog's exercise, but never let him inside my house, is that haraam?

of course, the main reaon why i want a great dane is to intimidate people who try to break in my house, but they need exercise, and so do i.

but are outdoor canine companions haraam? or can i keep one as long as she never enters my house?

i've met muslims with outdoor dogs, but i doubt that they're companions.
 
My dog is an outside dog and she is my companion. She can't stay in too long or else she freaks. She loves the cold weather and is very active. An outside dog doesn't have to be just for guarding. I don't know much about the Muslim religion but your dog should be your friend.
 
Dogs are not to be used as tools of intimidation...Part of the bad rep that some of the breeds have now is because people want "tough looking / acting " dogs

Dogs are best kept inside, with people, to be a loved member of the family.

There are dogs that prefer to be and do well as outdoor dogs with the appropriate shelter, excercise, and human interaction. A Dane is not a good candidate for an outdoor dog.

I beleive you should rethink getting a dog all together...your considering it for all the wrong reasons.
