You cannot keep a dog as a pet as a maliki,

You need to have just reason

Farming
Protection
Work

watchdog is a good reason and every dog barks or can be trained to bark when a stranger comes, even if it does not already. Few Muslims tend to be aware that basically every dog that is called a pet dog by people is also a watchdog in its behaviour.

Also there are some Maliki scholars who allow pet dogs (this is something I have been told on several occasions by different people on the Madhab, who the particular scholars are I don't know though).
