The answer

It is not permissible to keep a dog except for hunting or guarding. The basic principle is to avoid touching dogs due to their impurity. Your prayer after purification is valid. It is advisable to abandon raising puppies and instead occupy oneself with what benefits in this world and the Hereafter.
