Origin
This phrase refers to dogs as a negative connotation. In the earlier days, having pets was not as usual as it is today. People that did have pets would not prefer dogs because of the germs and diseases that they carried. Grooming and vaccinations for pets was a far off concept. So to love dogs was not common back then. Which is where this phrase was born. To have a dog meant to have something that is unusual, mostly a fault. If the person was accepted with the fault then the phrase would come into effect. It is not popularly used now a days because of the fact that humans have come much closer to dogs now and many people tend to like them.
