A perfect participle phrase.

I didn't want to ask this question again here because Mr.Jim explained a perfect participle phrase already to me, but I didn't understand, I'm such a fool, that usage completely, so I am asking for your help though it might be considered as being shameful.

1.My dog having nearly died, he revived it.
2.With my dog having nearly died, he revived it.
3.When my dog having nearly died, he revived it.

In the above sentence, I don't know why only #3 is ungrammatical.
When we use a perfect participle phrase, is there restriction on using with a conjunction?
