If the question was 'Had you a dog?' Then the response would be just a plain 'No'.
It could be elaborated to 'No, I left the dog at home', or 'No, I have never had a dog' 'Unfortunately, no', 'Luckily, no', or maybe even 'Yes, but he was off chasing rabbits!'
'Had you a dog? would be asked as part of an on-going conversation, not as an opening.
'Have you
ever had a dog?' would be OK for openers.
