The Talmud in Bava Kama 83a tells over:
Rabee Dustai b'Rabee Yanai taught: based on the verse in Parashat Beha'alotkha - "Shuvah Hashem Riv'vot Alfei Yisrael..." that the Shekhinah does not rest on Yisrael - if there are less than twenty-two thousand Jews.
a) If there were one less than this amount, and a woman were pregnant, about to complete the number, and she miscarried due to a dog's bark, this would cause the Divine Presence to depart from Yisrael!
b) Once, a pregnant woman went to bake in another's house.
A dog in the house barked at her, so the owner assured her 'don't worry, It's teeth were removed...!'
The woman then answered: "The fetus has already died {from the shock}."
And according to the Kabbalah
R' Eliezer Pappo wrote in Hesed LaAlafim:
"It is forbidden to raise non-kosher animals, for they have impurities which [spiritually block] stuff a person's heart - especially children."
ורבנו אליעזר פאפו כתב: שגידול כלב על ידי ילד גורם לו טמטום הלב בתורה
Note: these impurities can prevent a person from understanding spiritual concepts, as well as prevent spirituality from entering the home and therefore it is hazardous.
HaRav Mutzafi adds: rather Kosher animals would suffice [like pet birds and the like], for it is written in the Zohar: that the souls of the wicked, stumbling and un-fixed tend to fall (reincarnate) in them.
Of course! this does NOT mean we should treat non-kosher animals disrespectfully, considering the "Biblical prohibition" of "Tzaar Baalei Hayim" [avoiding cruelty to animals is Biblical according to most Poskim]. Furthermore, it is written (Psalms 145:9) God is good to all, and His mercies are on all His creations.
Mishne Torah - Hilkhot Shabat 21:36 states: "Only regarding an animal that one is responsible for feeding - e.g., one's domesticated animals, one's beasts, doves raised within one's home, geese, and chickens."
Also Gitin 62a teaches:
Rav Yehudah taught that one may not taste anything before giving food to his animal; - based on the Pasuk: "ve'Natati Eisev be'Sad'kha li'Vehemtekha, ve'Akhalta ve'Sava'ta..." ("And I will give grass in your field for your animals..." then it says: "you will eat and be satiated...")
Rishonim who rule cruelty to animals is D'Orayta (from the Torah):
וכתבו רוב הפוסקים שהאיסור הוא איסור דאורייתא... הרי"ף, הרא"ש, וכן כתב הרמב"ם בפירוש המשנה (ביצה ג,ד): "כלל הוא אצלנו צער בעלי חיים דאוריתא...", רמב"ן (בראשית א' כ"ט), המאירי, ספר החינוך (מצווה תנ"א ומצווה תק"נ), נימוקי יוסף, הרמ"א, ספר חרדים (פרק י"ד) ועוד
Also, in the Shulhan Arukh (Yoreh Deah 117)
there exists a prohibition to buy, sell or raise unkosher animals.
כל חיה טמיאה אסורה בקניה ובגידול. ומפורש בשלחן ערוך יורה דעה שאסור לקנות , למכור , לגדל , חיות ובהמות טמאות
א. אסור לסחור בבהמות טמאות, וכן אסור להיות שותף במסחר זה
ב. על מנת למכור את בשרם אסור, ועל מנת לסחור בהם לצורך אומנות וכדומה יש אוסרים ויש מתירים
ולכתחילה, יש להחמיר בזה עיין בערוך השולחן שם סעיף ד' וה' שהביא מחלוקת ראשונים בזה
note: A land animal is kosher if it has spilt hooves and chews its cud. It must have both kosher signs.
Examples: cows, sheep, goats and deer are kosher, while pigs, rabbits, squirrels, bears, dogs, cats, camels and horses are not.
And HaRambam (Hilkhot Nizkei Mamon 5:9) wrote:
Hakhamim forbade to raise dogs because their damage is great and common [for it barks and can cause miscarriages].
"It is prohibited to raise pigs..." -Code of Jewish Law, Hoshen Mishpat 409
Furthermore, our Sages said:
"Cursed be one who raises dogs and pigs, because they frequently cause a great degree of damage."
ואמרו חכמים ארור מגדל כלבים וחזירים מפני שהיזקן מרובה ומצוי... -הרמב"ם נזקי ממון פרק ה,ט
?האם קיים איסור לגדל כלב בבית ללא חצר
בגמרא שבת סג. כתוב: שנמנעת הברכה מביתו. וכתובות מא: עובר על ולא תשים דמים בביתך. והרמב"ם תלמוד תורה ו, יד. מחייב אותו נידוי. ורק אם גר במקום שיש גנבים ומחבלים מותר לא יגדל אדם את הכלב אא"כ קשור בשלשלאות וכו
a) And the Gemara in Shabbat 63b writes: that someone who keeps a vicious dog in his house [one that barks], withholds the blessings from his home (because of impurities and poor people will be afraid to come to his door).
b) Rabee Natan in a Beraita learns from the Pasuk "v'Lo Tasim Damim b'VeiTekha..."
that one is forbidden to retain a dangerous dog or to put up a rickety ladder in one's house.
c) HaRambam in Talmud Torah 6:14 writes:
A ban of ostracism is imposed upon a person - either man or woman - in 24 situations...
situation #7 - a person who possesses an entity that can cause damage - e.g., a dangerous dog or a faulty ladder - is placed under ban until he removes that entity.
And HaRav Mutzafi adds, that only if he lives in a place with house burglars (or if the owner is blind) is it permitted outside the house, and it must remain on a leash or in a closed yard (where it won't come in contact with it's owner's food).
