Hello welcome to the health care magic

Dogs can transmit certain Parasitic and other infection from them into human is called as zoonotic disease

So you can keep dog but keep it clean with regular bath

Try to avoid eating with dog in same dish of food

As such dog keeping doesn't lead any problem in conception

Take care

Hope this will help you
