2. how about the saliva of dog, Is there a limit that would make your clotes najs, like if Dog comes and lick u, and the size of drool/saliva spot is less than a penny, do you still need to change your clothes.
3. I also understand that dog needs to remain outside the house.
but can some one provide me with rulings or links where I can read in details.
Point is, I want a watch dog for my daugters (5 and 2 yrs old), cause I am very paranoid about there safety, specialy when they are playing outside on the street, i want the dog to guard them

IMO parents should protect and guard their children (and leave the rest to Allah SWT) not a dog. No matter how skilled or trained... in the end a dog is nothing more then just an animal. Besides as a Muslim it is too much work to keep a dog (ie having to keep away from it's saliva, not letting it into the home etc). Nowadays, they have security alarms and all kinds of technology to guard and protect your family and home....there really isnt much much need for a watch dog.
To answer your query...
-from my understanding it is not the dog that is impure but the saliva from a dog is what is considered to be filthy.

I am not sure about the rulings of keeping the dog outside of the house and therefore can not answer.
