QuestionWe are about to get a harlequin dane in the next 2 weeks and just found out our 2 year old daughter is allergic to pet dander. We are not sure if we should wait or if we should give the puppy a chance and see how our daughter does around the puppy. Any suggestions?
AnswerDon't get a puppy to try it out then have to re-home it. It is like passing a child round from foster home to foster home. It can have the same mental effect. Try your daughter out on a friends dog and if she is OK then get a puppy.
Dogs are for life not just as long as they are convenient.
