Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Whoever keeps a dog,
one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily, unless the dog
is used for guarding a farm or cattle." Abu Huraira (in another narration)
said from the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), "unless it is used
for guarding sheep or farms, or for hunting." Narrated Abu Hazim from Abu
Huraira: The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "A dog for
guarding cattle or for hunting."
