1488. Ibn ‘Umar narrated: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered killing dogs, except for the hunting dog, or the dog that guards livestock.” It was said to him: “Abū Hurairah would say: ‘or a farm dog’ so he (Ibn ‘Umar) said: “Abū Hurairah had a farm.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٤٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ إِلَّا كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ». قَالَ: قِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: أَوْ كَلْبَ زَرْعٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ لَهُ زَرْعٌ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

[1] Qirāṭ is normally used to refer to a weight that is approximately 1/16th of a Dirham. The English word “carat” and its usage are related. In relation to rewards, it is also said to be much greater in size.
It is human nature that a man tries to collect all information concerning his profession and interests. Abū Hurairah was a farmer by profession so he had more information about the issues of farmers.
