According to their prophet Mohamed. He considered dogs unclean so they don't like them. But not sure if they are forbidden just not liked very much. There is an exception though, some do have a breed of dog called the Saluki. If I am not mistaken.

Malik Al-Muwatta . Hadith 54.13: Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever acquires a dog other than a sheepdog or hunting dog, will have two qirats deducted from the reward of his good actions every day." Malik related to me from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered dogs to be killed.
Sahih Al-Bukhari 3:515. Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle (saw) saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal)."

Muslims do not keep dogs as it prevents the mercy of angels visiting and the saliva is impure. They can have dogs for hunting and guarding though.

They are considered unclean. Except for the Saluki, which is a gift (or something like that) from Allah.

Maybe because they eat dogs there?
