Can a child with asthma have short haired dachshund?

It depends on the severity of the child's asthma and the specific dog. Dogs with short hair tend to shed more dander than dogs with longer hair, and dander can trigger asthma attacks. However, if the child's asthma is well-controlled and they are not allergic to dogs, a short-haired dachshund may be a good pet. It's always a good idea to consult with an allergist before bringing a dog into the home of someone with asthma.
