I was thinking of getting a small puppy but I wanted to know if that will be bad for a 2 year old? See my child has allergies so I juat wanted to know if it was OK or not..

To be quite frank, it doesn't matter what type of puppy you get, allergy resistant or not. There will be dirt and dust kicked up and potty training to deal with(the puppy). Not necessarily what you want to do around a 2 year old. Why not wait till your child is older, the allergies may pass and you will have more time to devote to both.

I will say u might consult skin specialist and pediatricican before buying a pet.
And in case u buy,keep d pet clean,very clean.

And always always keep a recrord,in your mind and in written,the things your baby is allergic to.since babies can't exprees them clearly,you will have to look for the symptoms(in case).
